Dear Beloved Friend,
First I must solicit your confidence in this transaction, this is by
virtue of it's nature as being utterly confidential and top secret.
Though I know that a transaction of this magnitude will make any one
apprehensive and worried, but I am assuring that this is real and genuine
I am Mrs. Venus Khan from spain. I am married to Late benny khan of Holland who worked with Julius Berger construction company (a famous construction company) in Africa for many Years before he died in the 27th January 2002 bomblast at our Ikeja resident
on his way to work. we married but no child
Since the death of my husband, I decided not to re-marry and presently I am 68 Years old. When my late husband was Alive he deposited the sum
of $15M USD. (Fifteen million dollars) with a Security Company. Presently this money is still with the Security Company and the management just Wrote me as the beneficiary to come forward to receive the money or rather Issue a letter of authorization to somebody to receive it on my behalf if I cannot come over. I am presently in a hospital where I have been undergoing treatment Cancer of the lungs in
a hospital, I have since lost my ability to talk and my doctors have told me that I have only a few months to Live.
Now that my health has deteriorated so badly, I cannot do this myself anymore. I once asked members of my family to close one of my husband accounts and distribute the money to charity organization, they refused and kept the money to themselves. Hence, I do not trust them anymore, as they seem not to be contended with what I have left
I want a person that is trustworthy that will utilize 80% of this money to fund churches, orphanages and widows around the world but in the name of my late husband Benny Khan as Benny memorial fund.
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 and the deposit slip that will prove you as the new beneficiary of this fund.
Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated here in and keep this contact confidential till such a time this funds get to your Custody. This is to ensure that nothing jeopardizes my last wish on
Earth.
I await your urgent reply
Regards,
Mother Venus khan
