year 2002. We are married for Fifteen years without a child. He died after
a brief illness that lasted for only four days. Before his death we were
both devoted Christians. Since his death I too have been battling with
stroke sickness and fibroid problem. When my late husband was alive he
deposited the sum of ($4.5 Million U.S Dollars Only) with a Bank in Nigeria.
The reason why i contacted you is this, Recently My account officer
contacted me and informed me that the bank are trading with my Fund
thinking that I will die, that I should try take the fund out of the Bank
or I find somebody oversea who will assist me so that he will transfer the
fund oversea to the persons account so that the Bank will not confisicate
my funds anylonger,I contacted my doctor, and my doctor told me that I
would be Heal/OK in the NEXT four months that God Will HeaL me. Though what
disturbs me most is my stroke sickness. Having known my condition I decided
