From: Mrs Mary Haffkens of Netherlands
Greetings in the name of God,Pls let this not sound strange to you for my
only surviving lawyer who would have done this died early this year.i prayed
and got you email id from your countrys chambers of commerce which i have
been with my late huband and liked to visit once more if God will in his
infinite mercies.
I am Mrs. Mary Haffkens from Netherlands,I am 51 years old,i am deaf and
suffering from a long time cancer of the breast which also affected my brain,
from all indication my conditions is really deteriorating and it is quite
obvious that, according to my doctors they have advised me that i may not
live for the next two months,this is because the cancer stage has gotten
to a very bad stage. I was brought up from a motherless babies home was married
to my late husband for twenty years without a child ,died in a fatal motor
accidentBefore his death we were true Christians. Since his death I decided
not to re-marry,I sold all my inherited belongings and deposited all the
sum of $3.5million dollars with a Security Company.
Presently, this money is still with them and the management just wrote me
as the true owner to come forward to receive the money for keeping it so
long or rather issue a letter of authorization to somebody to receive it
on my behalf since I can not come over because of my illness or they get
it confisticated. Presently, I'm with my laptop in a hospital where I have
been undergoing treatment for cancer of the lungs. I have since lost my ability
to talk and my doctors have told me that I have only a few months to live.
It is my last wish to see that this money is invested to any organisation
of your choice and distributed each year among the charity organization,the
poorand the motherless babies home where i come from.I want you God fearing,
to also use this money to fund churches, orphanages and widows,.
I took this decision, before i rest in peace because my time will soon be
up. As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the Security
Company.I will also issue you a letter of authority that will prove you as
the new beneficiary of my fund. Please assure me that you will act accordingly
as I stated herein. Hoping to hearing from you soon. Waiting for your reply
Yours in Christ,
Mrs Mary Haffkens
