Subject: Contact me back ASAP.
From: Mrs. Ann Edward.
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. John Edward who worked with South Africa embassy
in Malaysia for nine years before he died in the year 2000. well i will only
try to let you know who Dr.John Edward 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 honour him for the love we shared and the life we lived
for. My late husband deposited the sum of $27.6Million (twenty-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 embile 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 continously use the money to fund orphanages,widows,the
less priviledge,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 my 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 condidtions stated.
As i stated My doctor will issue you a letter of authority that will
empower's 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. Ann Edward
