Subject: Urgent Response Needed!
From: Mrs. Marian Alyan
Compliments of the day.
I am the above named person from Dubai and presently undergoing medical
treatment in a private Hospital.
I was married to Late Mr. Andrew Alyan and we both own a flourishing Gold
business in Dubai and ltaly before he died in year 2003. We were married
for eleven years without 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.
Before l fell ill, l deposited the sum of $8,500,000.00 (U.S. Dollars) with
a finance/security company in Europe.Presently,this money is still with the
Financial Company in Europe. 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 charity organization or better still an individual that will utilize
this money the way I am going to instruct here in. I want an individual
that will use this to fund for orphanages and widows propagating love among
individual and to ensure that the orphans are taken care off.This would
be by setting up a foundation to care for the needy in the society.
I took this decision because I don't have any child that will inherit this
money and my husband's relatives are idol worshipper and I don't want my
hard earned money to be misused by them. I don't want a situation where this
money will be used in an ungodly manner, hence the reason for taking this
bold decision. I don't want them to know about this development.
As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the Finance/Security
Company in Europe. I will also issue you a letter of authority that will
empower you as the beneficiary of this fund.
Any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing for another individual
or organization for this same purpose. Please assure me that you will act
accordingly as I stated herein.
Hoping to hear from you soonest.
Best Regards,
Marian.
