Greetings to you in the most wonderful name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
His richest blessings shall be upon you forever.
I am Mrs Mary Campbell,I am 51 years old from Netherlands,i am deaf
and suffering from a long time cancer of the Lungs 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 maynot 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. My husband died in a fatal motor accident.
Before his death we were true Christians. Since his death I decided not
to re-marry,I sold all my inherited belongings and deposited all the sum of
$15.5million 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 authorizationto 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 TO HAVE 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 here in.
I shall wait at your prayerful reply.
Thanking you in His precious name.
Yours in His Service
Mrs Mary Campbell
