Subject: HELLO MADAM DORIS
My dear,
I am mrs Doris hamman from Botswana. I am married to
Dr.Joseph hamman who worked with Botswana embassy in
Leshoto for nine years before he died. We were married
for eighteen years with a child.
He died after a brief illness that lasted for only
four days. Since his death I decided not to re-marry
or get a child outside my matrimonial home.When my
late husband was alive he deposited the sum of8.5
Million (eight Million five hundred thousand
U.S.Dollars) in a security company in Abidjan-Cote D'Ivoire.
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 part of this fund to
motherless babies home or better still a God fearing
individual that will utilize this money to the glory
of God and to take care of my only child.
I want a person that will use this fund orphanages
and widows .I took this decision because my only child
is still young and can not manage this fund very well
and my husband relatives are not happy with my
husband's wealth when he was alife and through my
prayers and the directions of God.
I have found out that their hands is in my husband's
death and I don't want my husband's hard earned money
to be misused by evil men. I don't want a situation
where this money will be used in an ungodlmanner,hence
the reason for taking this bold decision.
As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the
contact of the security company in Abidjan where my husband lodged
the money . I will also issue a letter of
authorisation that will empower you as the
original-beneficiary of the money to enable the
security company transfer the money to your country.
Any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing
for another person for this same purpose. Please
assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated
herein and you will take care of my only child wisdom.
Hoping to hear from you soon.
Yours Sincerely,
Mrs. Doris hamman & son wisdom
