Subject: Good Morning and God bless you
Dear friend
First of all let me introduce myself to you I am Morrisa Thompson from
Malaysia. I am married to late Peter Thompson of blessed memory. We were
married for eleven Years without a child, since his death I too have been
battling with both cancer and fibroid problem.
Recently, my doctor told me that I would not last for few months and having
known my condition I Decided to donate my late husband's
funds(US$5.5Million) deposited with a security company in Europe to any
person that will Utilize this money for himself/herself and also for the
Orphanages, widows so that we can make this world a better place, and as
soon as I receive your reply, I will also issue an Order of authority to the
security company, authorizing them that the said luggage has been willed to
you and a copy of such authorization will be forwarded to you. Any delay in
your reply will give room in sourcing for another person / organization for
this same purpose. Until I hear from you today unfailingly, My dream will
rest squarely on Your shoulders. Do have a nice Day
Morrisa Thompson
