Subject: I NEED YOUR ASSISTANT
From: Mrs. amira Bergson,
Compliments of the day.
PLEASE ENDEAVOUR TO USE IT FOR THE ORPHANGES AND WIDOWS.
I am the above named person from Malaysia but now undergoing medical
treatment now.I am married to Late Dr. Alan George Bergson who worked with
Malaysia embassy in South Africa for nine years before he died in the year
2003. We were married for eleven years without a child.He died after a brief
illness that lasted for only four days . Since his death I decided not to
re-marry or get a child outside my matrimonial home.
When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of $1.2 Million U.S.
Dollars) with one finance/security company in Europe.Presently, this money
is still with the Financial Company in Europe. Recently, my Doctor told me
that I would not last for the next threemonths due to cancer problem. Though
what disturbs me most is my stroke. Having known my condition I decided to
donate this fund to Organisation or better still an individual that will
utilize this money the way I am
going to instruct here in. I want an individual that will use this to fund
for orphanages and widows propagating love among individual and to ensure
that the orphanages are taken care off.
I took this decision because I don’t have any child that will inherit this
money and my husband relatives are idiol worshipers and I don’t want my
husband’s hard earned money to be misused by unbelievers. I don’t want a
situation where this money will be used in an ungodly manner, hence the
reason for taking this bold decision, all I just need is peace and my dream
for the orphanges comes through. I don’t need any telephone communication in
this regard because of my health, and because of the presence of my
husband’s relatives around me always. I don’t want them to know about this
development.
As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the
Finance/Security Company in Europe. I will also issue you a letter of
authority through my lawyer that will empower you as the original-
beneficiary of this fund. I want you to always pray for me because the lord
is my shepherd. My happiness is that I lived a life of a worthy Christian.
Please always be prayerful all through your life.Any delay in your reply
will give me room in sourcing for another individual for this same purpose.
Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated herein.
Hoping to hear from you and remain blessed.
Best Regards,
Mrs. amira Bergson.
