Subject: DID YOU GET MY FIRST EMAIL?
IN GOOD FAITH
From: Mrs. Agnes Samuel.
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 u 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. George Samuel who worked with South
Africa embassy in Malaysia for nine years before he died in the year
2001. well I will only try to let you know who Dr.George Samuel 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
lifes 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$7.6Million
(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 emblem 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 y 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. Agnes Samuel.
