My Dear,

Warm Greetings!

Forgive my indignation if this message comes to you as a surprise and may offend your personality for contacting you without your prior consent and writing through this channel.

I got your contact from a proffesional database found in internet while searching for a reliable and honest person that will be an annointed steward in a vision very dear to me.

I am Mrs.Sena Anthony,a widow and childless woman from Colombia undergoing medical treatment.I am married to Dr.Mike S.Anthony who was a multi million gun runner,supplying arms and ammunitions to warring factions in Africa and Assia countries before he died in the year 2002.

We were married for eleven years without a child.He died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days. Since his death I decided not to re-marry or get a child outside my matrimonial home.When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of USD.$37.6 Million (Thirty seven Million, six hundred thousand U.S.Dollars only) with a Security Deposit company. Presently,this money is still with the Security Deposit Company. Recently,my doctor told me that I would not last for the next Six months due to my breast cancer problem.

Actually, what disturbs me most is my partial paralysis,having known my condition I have decided to donate this fund to an
organisation or individual that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct herein.

I want an organisation or individual that will use this money to fund, women and youth groups, victims of war,environmental protection, charities, orphanages homes widows and old people centers,It is said that blessed is the hand that giveth.

I took this decision because I don't have any child that will inherit this money and as a part of restitution for the attrocities of my husband which I did not support, I don't want a situation where this money will be used in an ungodly manner or against my WILL,hence the reasons for taking this bold decision must be unhold and respected.

I am not afraid of death hence I know where I am going,I know that I am of the Heavenly candidate and I am going to be in the bossom of my father God,Please If you consider yourself propare and adequately equipped morally and spiritually for this mission,kindly send me a brief memo of how you intend to manage the funds.

May God the Father of all Nations and all Fresh bless you.

Yours sincerely,
Lady,Sena Anthony
