Subject: DID YOU RECEIVE MY LAST MAIL?
IN GOOD FAITH
From: Mrs. Edith Paul.I think you did not get the first mail.
Life itself is a misery and nobody can tell what can be of it.
Those that can tell what can be of it are those who cannot
tell us because they are far from us (dead). If you will want to
hear my story.
I am the above named person but now undergoing medical
treatment for cancer now. I am married to Dr. Henry Paul
who worked with South Africa embassy in Malaysia for nine years
before he died in the year 2000. Well I will only try to let you
know who Dr. Henry Paul is by stating his philosophy of life,
"life is worth living only if lived to the service of mankind" and
"You make a living by what you earn, but you make life by what
you give "This will give you an insight of the spirit behind what I
believe and what i will live for cause he is my mentor. To continue
with my story, We were married for eleven years without a child.
He died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days. Before
his death we have made something of and from life.
Since his death I decided not to re-marry or adopt a child, this is
basically my own decision to honor him for the love we shared
and the life we lived for. My late husband deposited the sum of
$27.6Million (twenty-seven Million six hundred thousand U.S.
Dollars) with one finance company in Europe before his death.
Presently, this money is still with the Security Company. Recently,
my Doctor told me that I would not last for the next three months
due to cancer problem. Though what disturbs me most is my stroke.
Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to a church,
better still a Christian individual or a Moslem that will utilize this money
the way I am going to instruct herein.First you must imbibe and live with my husbands philosophy, as stated above. If you can't remember please I refer you to read through from the introduction of this letter cause this the most important aspect that you must uphold.
Secondly I want an organization or an individual that is God fearing
who can invest the money and continuously use the money to fund
orphanages, widows, the less privilege, the disabled and all those
afflicted with strange illness or diseases.
Thirdly this money should not be used in an ungodly manner, or
any form of evil or selfishness for that will warrant evil to that
persons life and family from generations to generations. For you
cannot use the hard earned money of my husband and I for evil or
ungodly purposes.
If these conditions are met I am not afraid of death for i know
where I am going to and my heart will rest in peace. I don't need
any telephone communication in this regard because of my health,
for as soon as I receive your reply I will refer you to the contact of the Finance/Security Company in Europe and my doctor who shall arrange you the letter of claim from the Malaysia High Court of Justice. This will be done if I see from your response that you satisfy the above conditions stated.
As I stated My doctor will issue you a letter of authority that will
empowers you as the original- beneficiary of this funds (consignment).
I choose this means to locate you because I am sure I will be lead by a
good spirit to the kind of person that will be honest. Delay in your reply
will not be of benefit to me due to my health condition and this will
propel me to search for someone else.
Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated herein.
Hoping to hear from you.
In His Services.
Mrs. Edith Paul.
