From: "Rachel Black" <rachel.black4@hotmail.com>
Date: Mon, 28 May 2007 21:11:15 -0500
Subject: God Bless You
Dear Brethren,
I am Mrs RACHEL BLACK from Netherlands. I was married to Dr.MICHAEL BLACK
who worked with Chevron Texaco in Nigeria for twenty years before he died in
the year 2000, May be you must have heard about him in the oil firm.We were
married for thirty-seven years without a child. He died during one of the
riot in the Niger delta region of Nigeria.He was held hostage and slain to
death by protesting youths of the region.
Before his death we were both born again Christians. Since his death I
decided not to re-marry. When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum
of(Three Million, Five Hundred Thousand
U.S.Dollars) with a security company. Presently,this money is still with
the company and the
management just wrote me as the beneficiary to come forward to receive the
money or rather issue a letter of authorization to somebody to receive it on
my behalf if I can not come over.
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 because of the
effect of the chemotheraphy i have been
subjected to 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 the proceed at
the end of every year distributed among
charity organization.
I want a person that is God fearing that will use this money to fund
churches/mosques,orphanages and widows propagating the word of God and to
ensure that the house of God is maintained. The Bible made us to understand
that blessed is the hand that giveth. I took this decision because I know
that there are a lot of poor people suffering from different kind of disease
and nobody to come to their aid.
With God all things are possible as soon as I receive your reply I shall
give you the contact of the bank. I will also issue you a letter of
authority that will prove you as the new beneficiary of
this fund. You are to help me invest this funds into real estate and stocks.
You will be entitled to 10% of every profit you make in a year. Please
assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated
herein.And also do reach me via email. Waiting for your reply
MRS RACHEL BLACK
