From: "Remirez" <elizabeth_remirez@maktoob.com>
Date: Wed, 13 Sep 2006 03:17:05 +0200
Subject: HELLO DEAR
My Dearly Beloved,
Please forgive my indignation if this message comes to you as a surprise I got your contact from adatabase found in internet while searching for a reliable and honest person that will assist usreceive a fund into an account.I was divinely inspired to pick your name among other names found inthe Internet database. After series of prayers and fasting for Gods direction.
I am Mrs.Elizabeth Antonio Remirez a citizen of Colombia undergoing currently medical treatment. Iam married to Dr. Antonio Remirez who worked with the Malaysia Embassy in South Africa for nine years before he died in the year2003. We were married for eleven years without a child.He died aftera brief illness that lasted for only four days. Before his death we were both born again Christians.Since his death I decided not to re-marry or get a child outside my matrimonial home which the Bible is against.
When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of $15 Million (Fifteen million U.S.Dollars)with a finance/security company in EUROPE.The money is inside one trunk box, but nobody knew thatthe box contained money apart from me and my late husband, the box was deposited as PhotographicMaterials. Presently, this money is still with the Security Company.
Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not live for the next three months due to my cancerproblem. Though what disturbs me most is my disability to move around which is a partial paralysis.Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to a church or a mosque or better still aChristian or a Moslem individual that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct herein.I want a church or Mosque or the individual beneficiary that will inherit this to use it forchurches or Mosque orphanages and widows propagating the word of God and to ensure that the house of God is beautified.
They said blessed is the hand that giveth. I took this decision because I do not have any child thatwill inherit this money and my husband's relatives are not Christians and I don't want my husband'shard earned money to be mis-used by unbelievers. I do not want a situation where this money will beused in an ungodly manner,hence the
reason for taking this bold decision. I am not afraid of deathbecause I know where I am going. I know that I am going to be in the bossom of my Saviour.
If you feel you are worthy enough to make yourself available in this project, let me knowimmediately you read my mail. GOD will surelyprovide for you the power and strenght to accomplish this. All things work together for good forthose who love GOD. Waiting for your urgent response. I do not need any telephone conversation inthis regard because of my health,and because of the presence of my husband?s relatives who arealways around me. I do not want them to know about this development.
Thank you and God bless.
Yours sincerely,
Mrs.Elizabeth Antonio Remirez.
