Subject: I Need Your Help In The Name Of God.
From: Mrs. Amelia Albrecht,
I am Mrs. Amelia Albrecht,
I was married to Dr. Max Albrecht, who worked with Chevron Texaco in
Nigeria for twenty years before he died in the year 2000, May be you
must have heard about him in the oil firm. We were married for thirty-
seven years without a child. He died during one of the riot in the
Niger delta region of Nigeria. He was held hostage and slain to death
by protesting youths of the region
Before his death we were both born again Christians. Since his death I
decided not to re-marry. When my late husband was alive he deposited
the sum of (Nineteen Million Five Hundred U.S.Dollars) with a security
company in the London Presently, this money is still with the 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 can not come over.
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, the proceed at
the end of every year distributed among charity organization.
I want a person that is God fearing that will use this money to fund
churches, orphanages and widows propagating the word of God and to
ensure that the house of God is maintained. The Bible made us to
understand that blessed is the hand that giveth. I took this decision
because I know that there are a lot of poor people suffering from
different kind of disease and nobody to come to their aid.
With God all things are possible. As soon as I receive your reply I
shall give you the contact of the bank. I will also issue you a letter
of authority that will prove you as the new beneficiary of this fund.
You are to help me invest this fund into real estate and stocks. You
will be entitled to 10% of every profit you make in a year. Please
assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated herein.
Note. You can contact the security company?s Correspondence office in
London for verification on the consignment as the funds was deposited
in a trunk box as a consignment, and the consignments code is 555 name
of depositor Dr. Max Albrecht, present beneficiary Amelia Albrecht.
Hoping to hearing from you soon.
Waiting for your reply
Yours in Christ,
Mother Amelia Albrecht
