Subject: Help The Widow...............................
Dear Sir/Ma,
I am Mrs.Mercy Pearl, from Benin Republic.I am married to late Donald Pearl ,of blessed memory who worked with SHELL OIL COMPANY in Benin for twelve years before he died.We were married for Fifteen years without a child. He died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days. Before his death we were both devoted Christians.
Since his death I too have been battling from long time cancer of the breast,from all indication my conditions is really deterioating to the extent i am on a sick bed at the moment and only the grace of God can heal me.
When my late husband was alive, he deposited the sum of ($17.6 MILLION, U.S Dollars ) with a security company, in africa. The reason why i contacted you is this,Recently My account officer contacted me and informed me that the security company are trading with my Fund thinking that I will die,that I should try take the fund out of the security company or I find somebody oversea who will assist me so that I will get the fund out of the said security company to the persons account so that the security company will not trade with the fund any longer, I contacted my doctor, and my doctor told me that I would be Heal/OK in the NEXT four months that God Will HeaL me. Though what disturbs me most is my cancer problem. Having known my condition I decided to donate part of this fund 15% to any Organization which will help the Poor.
I would like you to use this fund as am going to instructs here In.I want you to Give Out 15% of this money to Organization which helps the Poor motherless home with all sincerity to fund orphanages, Widows, and also propagating the word of God and to ensure that the society upholds the views and belief of the God Miracle.
Our Father emphasizes so much on God benevolence. Then you will have 30% of the fund for your efforts and assistance to clear the fund from the security company and transfer it to your bank account, this is for your own personal use, while 55% you will open a new account in your country and deposit it for me, if I am heal I will Use it for Investment, as I have faith that I will be heal as my doctor has informed me.
I took this decision because I don't have any child that will inherit or Assist me at this point in time,and could not trust my Late Husband Relatives I don't want a situation where this money will be used in an Unholy manner.They sized all my late Husband Belongings,they did it with my late husband Lawyer all because i was unable to bear him a child when he was alive.
I am taking this bold decision. I know that our father has the power of death and Life the beneficent and the most merciful.I don't need any telephone communication in this regard because of my health,and also, because of the presence of my husbands relatives around me always.I don't want them to know about this development. With God all things are possible.
It Most handle strictly between me, you and the security company. As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the security company in West Africa- Sub Regiona where the money is deposited for safe keeping.
I will also issue letter of authorization duly stamped and signed to the security company, authorizing them that the said fund have being willed to you as my Attorney/proxy and the prove documents of despite related to this transaction will be forwarded to you for your records and perusal through my personal lawyer.I want you to always pray for me.
My happiness is that I lived a true devoted Christian worthy of emulation. Whosoever, that wants to serve God must serve him in truth and in fairness. Please always be prayerful all through your life. Any delay to your reply will give room in sourcing for another devoted Person for this same Purpose. Until I hear from you today unfailingly, my dream will rest squarely on your shoulders. May the Almighty God continue to guide and protect us and may the Lord in his infinite mercy grant both of us long life.(Amen)
