Subject: VERY IMPORTANT
Dear Sir/Madam,
Greetings in the name of God,Pls let this not sound strange to you.i prayed
and got you email id from your countrys chambers of commerce which i have
been with my late huband and liked to visit once more if God will in his
infinite mercies.
I am Mrs Mary Joosh,I am 51 years old,i am deaf and suffering from a long
time cancer of the breast which also affected 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 Idecided not to re-marry,I sold all my inherited
belongings and deposited all the sum of $9.5million 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 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.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. Hoping to hearing from you soon.Please reply
to my personal email address,( mjoosh@lycos.com)
Waiting for our reply
Yours in Christ,
Mrs Mary Joosh
