Dear Friend,
I know that this may sound like some scam or hoax as you may have
received so many of such, but I tell you this is real.
I am Mrs. Nancy Dowen from Iran. I am married to Late George Dowen of
blessed memory who was an oil explorer in Libya and Kuwait for twelve
years; before he died in the year 2001. We were married for twelve years
without a child. My husband died after a brief illness.
When my late Husband was alive he deposited a substantial amount of
money in millions of dollars with a Finance Firm oversea.
i have been diagnosed of cancer and my doctor told me that I have a
limited time to live in this world due to the cancer problem.
I have contacted you with the intention of donating this fund to either a
charity/orphanage home or devoted God fearing individual/company that
will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct herein. I want this
organization or individual
To use this money in all sincerity to fund charity homes (motherless
homes), orphanages, and widows.
I have taken this decision because I do not have any child that will inherit
this money and my late husband relatives are not reliable and I don't
want a situation where this money will be used for a different purpose.
Hence the reasons for this bold decision. Please, pray for me to recover,
as your prayers will go a long way in uplifting my spirit.
I don't want my husband family to know about this development. As
soon as I receive your reply I shall give you Further directives on what to
do and how to go about actualizing this project. I want you to always pray
for me.
However, any delay in your reply will give room in sourcing for an
organization or a devoted Individual for this same purpose. Until I hear
from you by email; in my dreams will rest squarely on your shoulders.
Please reply to: nandowencare@aim.com
Remain Blessed.
Mrs. Nancy Dowen.
