Subject: My Whish For the less Priviledge


I am Mrs Corazon Abaya . I am only survivor from late Dr. Biagiotti Abaya
who was owner of a sea food company in vietnam for twenty years before he
died in the tsunami disaster along with my children .

Since his death I have been in the hospital here under medical supervision.
Upon his death i was fowarded a notification to come to the bank premises
in Europe since i am his next of kin to claim some entitilements but they
are unaware of my situation and ailment which is so bad that i have lost
my abilty to communicate verbally,I have been undergoing treatment for cancer
,oseophagael cancer in this hospital here in Sharjah , and my doctors have
told me that I have only a few months to live because my body has not been
responding to treatment.

I want a person that is trustworthy that will be a representative on behalf
of my humble self and family to assist me
communicate with the bank to claim my inheritance as a beneficiary thus utilising
90% of this amount to fund churches, orphanages and less priviledge around
the world but in my family name must this generous donations be made "ABAYA"

Please if you are interested I will need you to assure me that you will
act accordingly as I stated herein and keep this contact confidential this
is to ensure that nothing jeopadises my last wish on earth.

I await your urgent reply.

Regards,
Mrs Corazon Abaya.
