Attention Please,
I greet you in the Name of GOD.
I am MRS JECINTA SITHOLE from South Africa. I am married to Late MR JOHNSON
SITHOLE of blessed memory who was a GOLD MINER with the South African Gold
Mines for twenty Five years before he died in the year 2002.We were married
for twelve years without a child. He died after a brief illness that lasted
for only four days. Before his death we were both devoted to our God and
respect other who serve him.
Since his death, I too have been battling with both Cancer and fibroid
problems. When my late Husband was alive he Deposited the sum of
$15.5million (Fifteen Million, Five Hundred thousand U.S Dollars) with a
deposit Company.the money is deposited as Family Valuables/Treasure for
security reasons. Recently, my doctor told me that I have only six months to
live due to my cancer problem, and this lead to a stroke attack which bother
me most though because I cannot move as I use to.
Having known my condition I decided to entrust this fund to either a
philanthropic organization or devoted individual that will utilize this
money the way I am going to instructs herein.30% of the US$15.5million goes
to you to ensure that you are prepared for the task ahead, 60% of this money
will be used in all sincerity to fund philanthropic organization,
orphanages, widows and 5% will go to the family Attorney who will prepare
the Authorisation and the balance 5% sent to me to at least prepare for my
funeral and off-set my medical bills. I am taking this decision because I
don't have any child or devoted relations whose behavior has left much to be
desired while I am ill and above all I don't want a situation where this
money will be used in an UnGodly manner,hence this bold decision. Since my
health is Retrogressing by the minute, you will have to send your POSTAL
ADDRESS, CONTACT PHONE/MOBILE AND FAX NUMBERS including your country and
city code and a little details about yourself, because I got your address
from the internet after a thorough search.
As soon as I receive this information from you I will make arrangement to
prepare the Authorization through the family Attorney for you to get
Possession of the Deposit. As soon as I receive your reply to my
confidential email address:jshitole76@yahoo.co.in .com and the
authorization is given to you by me, I will give you the name and contact of
the deposit company where the money was Deposited, for claims to the
consignment and also the contact informations of my lawyer so that he will
assist you in claim.
Until I hear from you, I pray that this letter bring you and your family
good tiding while my dreams to help humanity rest squarely on your
shoulders. May the Almighty God continue to guide and protect you.
Remain Blessed,
MRS JECCINTA SHITOLE.
