Dear Good Friend.

He left the sum of twenty one Million Dollars (US$21,000 000 .00) to you in the codicil and last testament to his will. Being a widely traveled man, he must have been in contact with you in the past or simply you were nominated to him by one of his numerous friends abroad who wished you good.Engr.

He was a very dedicated Christian who loved to give out. His great philanthropy earned him numerous awards during his life time. Late Engr.Willy Bubenik died on the 9th day of February 2002 at the age of 82 years, and his Will is now ready for execution.
According to him this money is to support your Christian activities and to help the poor and the needy. Please If I reach you as I am hopeful, endeavor to get back to me as soon as possible to enable the immediate execution of your portion of the bequest to enable earlier disbursement by the Paying Bank.
