Subject: FROM MABEL
Greetings in the name of God . I prayed and got you email identification from one of your country's guestbook. I am Mrs. Mabel Clifford from Ireland, married to Mr Jeff Clifford, and we spent a greater part of our lives in Nigeria where my late husband was on trans-posting working in a multinational corporation.
I was brought up from a orphanage home and got married to my husband for twenty years without a child, before he lost his life in a fatal motor accident. Before his death, we were true Christians.
Presently, I am 58 years old, deaf and suffering from a long time cancer of the lungs which is causing me a speech impediment now. Based on my doctor's report, I may not live for the next three months,this is because the cancer has gotten to a very critical stage.
After the death of my husband I decided not to re-marry and sold all my inherited belongings and deposited all the sum amounting to Nine Million Five hundred Thousand euros ($9,500,000.00) with a Security Company, with the consent of my private attorney who is based in Nigeria.
Presently, this money is still with the security company and the management just notified me through my lawyer, as the true owner to come forward to claim the money or rather issue a letter of authorization to somebody to receive it on my behalf.
As a result of my present predicament I cannot go over, hence I am writing to avoid the money been declared unserviceable or get confiscated.
Presently, I'm with my laptop in a hospital where I have been undergoing treatment for cancer of the lungs.
I do not want to die intestate, thus it is is my last wish to see that this money is spent in the following manner: invested in any charity organisation of your choice, used to help the poor, needy and under-privilege in society.
In addition, I want you to be God fearing, and to use this money to help churches, orphanage homes 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 will give you the contact of my lawyer who will contact the security company and notify them of your readiness to collect the fund as soon as posible.
He will also issue you a letter of authority from me, to prove that you are the new beneficiary of my fund.
Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated above.
Hoping to hear from you soon.
Yours in Christ,
Mrs. Mabel Clifford
