Subject: URGENT HELP FROM GOOD SAMARITANS.




Attention;Benevolents,

From: Mrs Angelina Kheradmand of Kuwait I am the above named person from Kuwait. I am a South African by nationality and married to Dr. Benham Kheradmand who worked with Kuwait Embassy in Ivory Coast for nine years before he died in the year 2000.

We were married for eleven years without a child. He died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days. Before his death we were both christians who always seek the glory of God at all times, though we are not perfect but only made perfect through his grace.Since his death I decided not to re-marry or get a child outside my matrimonial home because i think time has runned against my age and natural ability .
When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of $10.6Million (Ten Million six hundredthousandU.S.Dollars) with a Deposit and Deliverng Company in Benin Republic West Africa. Presently, this money is still with the firm and the management just wrote me as the beneficiary to come forward to receive the trunk box of money or rather issue a letter of authorisation to somebody to receive it on my behalf if I can not come over. Presently, I'm in a hospital where I have been undergoing treatment for oesophageal cancer.

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 this money distributed to victims of this fire outbreak in Australia and other charity organizations. Because relatives and friends have plundered so much of my wealth since my illness, I cannot live with the agony of entrusting this huge responsibility to any of them.

Please,I beg you in the name of God to help me collect the deposit and the interest accured from the company and distribute it accordingly. I want a God fearing person to use this money to fund orphanages, widows and where ever Gods name are always mentioned and worship propagating the word of God and to ensure that the house of God is maintained.

The scripture made us to understand that Blessed is the hand that giveth. I took this decision because I don't have any child that will inherit this money and I don't want my husband's hard earned money to be misused Hence the reason for taking this bold decision. I am not afraid of death hence I know where I am going.I know that I am going to be in the bosom of the Lord.

Exodus 14 VS 14 says that the lord will fight my case and I shall hold my peace. I don't need any telephone communication in this regard because of my soundless voice and presence of my husband's relatives around me always. I don't want them to know about this development. With God all things are possible. As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the Deposit Company in Benin and also the contacts of the attorney who will help to issue you a letter of permission so that the company will be able to release the funds to you.

I want you to always pray for me because the lord is my shephard.My happiness is that I lived a life of a worthy Christian, whowever that wants to serve the Lord must serve him in spirit and truth. Please always be prayerful all through your life. Any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing for another person for this same purpose. Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated herein.

Hoping to hearing from you soon including your full contacts address like YOUR FULL NAME,PHONE NUMBER,CONTCT ADDRESS, ETC.

Please reply me through this private email ID; angelinakheradmandy@yahoo.co.uk,

Thanks and God bless you.
Mrs Angelina Kheradmand;
