Subject: Contact Him And Get Back To me
Dear Friend.
Please use this money for religious purposes and for the less privileged.
Greetings to you and your family in the name of God. In my search for a
reliable and God fearing person and having gotten your contact through
prayers and painstaking efforts I have decided to seek your help in
carrying out my last wishes. My name is Mrs. Carmen Molina. I'm a 65 years
old woman and from Canada. I was a merchant and owned two businesses in
Nigeria. I was also married with two children.
My husband and two children died in plane-crash accident in 10th November
2004. Before this happened, my business and concern for making money was
all I live for. I never really cared about other values in life. But since
the loss of my family, I have found a new desire to assist helpless
families. I have been helping orphans in orphanage/motherless homes. I
have also donated some money for humanitarian needs in, Africa, Europe,
South America and Asia.
I was moved with great pity and compassion that I decided to make this
contribution on assisting people, I kept $US15,000,000.00 Million in a
long-term deposit account in a Finance company. Presently, I'm in a
hospital where I have been undergoing treatment for esophagi cancer. I
have since lost my ability to talk and my doctors have told me that I have
only few months to live. It is my last wish to see this money distributed
to victims of the Dreaded HIV AIDS, Orphans, The poor and the needy
through a God fearing individual or charity organization. Because
relatives and friends have plundered so much of my wealth since my
illness, I cannot live with the agony entrusting this huge responsibility
to any of them.
Please, I beg you in the name of God to help me collect the deposit and
distribute it accordingly. Use your judgment to distribute the money and
keep 20% of it to yourself. Feel free to reimburse yourself when you have
the money for any cost you incur during the process of collecting and
distributing the money. If you are willing to help, please reply as soon
as possible. May the good lord bless you and your family
Please, send reply and all correspondences to my attorney:
Send your telephone number and your contact address for the transfer.
