FROM Mrs.LINDA WILLIAM
Dear Brethen
Greeting in the name of God,Pls let this not sound strange to you for my
.I prayed and got you email id from your countrys christian guestbook which i have been with my late huband and liked to visit
once more if God will in his infinite mercies.I am Mrs.LINDA WILLIAM from REPUBLIC OF BENIN,am married to a Nigeria. I am 58 years old,I am deaf and suffering from a long time cancer of the breast which alsoaffected 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 $4.2million 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,and my lawyer will also help you to get every neccesary document that will help you claim the fund.
that will prove you as the new beneficiary of my fund by my lawyer. Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated herein.
Waiting for your reply.
Yours in Christ,
Mrs.LINDA WILLIAM
