Subject: A CRY FOR HELP
Dear Friend
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 Pamela Duncan,
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 condition is really deteriorating and it is quite obvious
that,
according to my doctors they have advised me that i may not 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 the sum of $9.5million dollars with a Security Company.
Presently, this money is still with the Security Company 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
authorization to 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 in India 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 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 herein.
I shall wait at your prayerful reply.
Thanking you in His precious name.
Yours in His Service,
Mrs Pamela Duncan.
