Subject: hello dear
From: Mrs Flora Williams of Netherlands
Greetings in the name of God, I am Mrs. Flora Williams from Netherlands,I am 61 years old,i am 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.
My late husband whom i was married to for twenty years without a child ,worked with Chevron Texaco in Nigeria was killed during one of the riot in the Niger delta region of Nigeria,was held hostage and slain to death by protesting youths of the region. Before 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 $20million dollars with a Security Company in the Netherlands. 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 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,You are to help me invest these funds into real estate and stocks where You will be entitled to 20% of every profit you make in a year after my wish is done each year. 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. Flora Williams
