I am Mrs.Mary Josh,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 accident
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 $18.5million 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 poor and 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 our reply

Mrs Mary Josh
