Dear Friend,
Calvary greetings. His richest blessings shall be upon you forever.
I am Mrs. Arnie Advocaat, a 51 year old lady from Netherlands. I am deaf and suffering from a long time cancer of the Lungs which also affected my brain. From all indications my conditions is really deteriorating and it is quite obvious that I may not live for the next two months, according to my doctors. This is because the cancer has gotten to a very bad stage.
I was brought up from a motherless babies home, married to my late husband for twenty years without a child. My husband died of brain cancer.
Before his death we were true Christians.I decided not to re-marry, sold all my inherited belongings and deposited all the sum of $4.5million 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 organisatio nof your choice and distributed each year among the charity organization, the poor and the motherless babies home where i come from. I want a God fearing person to also use this money to fund churches, orphanages and widows centre.
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. I shall wait at your prayerful reply. Thanking you in His precious name.
Yours in His Service
