Cotonou Benin Republic
Dearest friend, it is with tears and pains
that i write you this mail from my sick bed in a hospital. I beleive
you have never meet such a condition before.
I am Mrs Almira AhmedHassani a widow , I am married to Mr Ahmed Bolkiah Hassani from Indonesia, who until his death was a gold merchant in ghana. Sadly, he died while on christmas vacation at Jarkata during the Tsunami wave
disaster on the 26th of December 2004. my husband's body was not till
today but in all things, i gave god the glory after the pains i went
through.I need your kind help in two major important things in my
life now. I am a cancer patience, i have cancer of the lungs, which is
gradually taking my life as the doctor have alerted me on the danger
sorrounding my health condition. It became much serious, after i lost
my beloved husband. I have a son of 13 years.
Few months ago, i cameto this country Benin republic with my only son of 13years, to withdraw my late husband money he deposit wisely with a bank here. But on my arrival here, after seeking asylum, my sickness became so serious that i was rushed to a hospital called Centre De Sante
Bethesda. I have spent all the money i came for the withdrawal of my
late husband deposit in my health. Now, the doctors have advised that i
need an immediate surgical operation overseas else, my life will be in
danger.
I have given up to fate, and have decided that i seek a help
of a kind person, who will understand my situation, to take care of
this money and my only son. If i fail to survive from this condition,
you will have to invest the money wisely in my son's name and take care
of my son until he becomes man enough to take over the business you
invested the money into. Since it is becoming obvious that i will die,
i need to make sure i make good plans for my little son so that my
spirit will be at rest even in death.
Please, i need your urgent response if you can take up this call, as i am very sceptical about my life. I need to declare my will now that i am alife, handling the money and my son in your care so that if anything goes wrong on my
side, you will take care of everything without requiring my presence.
Please reply immediately. almirahass@gawab.com
