Dear beloved , I apologize if the contents in this mail are contrary to your moral ethics which I feel may be of great disturbance to your personal life, but I feel quite safe dealing with you. However, this correspondence is purely private, and it should be treated as such. I am contacting you based on Trust and confidentiality. I have reposed higher confidence in your ability to handle this matter perfectly for my sake. I am serious minded person. I am the above named person from Ghana and I am arrived to Mr. Johnson Koffi citizen of Ghana who worked with Ghana Embassy in London for Fifteen years before his untimely death in the year 2003 after a brief illness. We were married for thirty-two years without a child. Before his untimely death, we were both born again Christian. We have been using our money to sponsor Orphanage homes in Ghana, and Rosamond Carr Imbabazi Orphanage home in Mutura, Rwanda until Rosamond Carr died last year September. Please, see link below: http://www.cnn.com/2007/WORLD/africa/01/27/rwanda.carr/index.html?eref=aolhttp://www.cnn.com/2007/WORLD/africa/01/27/rwanda.carr/index.html?eref=aol Since my husband died in March 20,2003, I continue the good work by stretching out my hands to help people in need. I decided not to remarry or get a child outside my matrimonial home, which the Bible is against. For the past years I am a cancer patient. The one that disturbs me most is my stroke sickness. I have spent so much money all this while to heal myself but all in vain. I have handed everything about my health over to lmighty God. I am now preparing myself to go and meet the good LORD. PLEASE, READ CAREFULLY, THIS IS WHERE I AM INTERESTED ON AND THIS IS WHERE I WANT YOU TO COME IN: By February, 1995, My husband open and operate a time deposit account with YORKSHIRE BANK LONDON. My husband fixed an amount of £4M (FOUR MILLION BRITISH POUNDS) with YORKSHIRE BANK LONDON. His fixed Deposit Account Number is F.D500861. He (my husband) however gave an outstanding instruction to YORKSHIRE BANK LONDON to role over the fixed amount after expiration and credit the interest to his Domiciliary Account. This is what YORKSHIRE BANK LONDON has been doing over the years. The interest of this time deposit account has always been credited to my husband's LINK ACCOUNT which is his Domiciliary Account. Based on the outstanding role over instruction, my husband's LINK ACCOUNT (Domiciliary Account) has always been credited with the interest dueand this has generated quite a huge amount of money up to £580, 000.00 (FIVE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY THOUSAND BRITISH POUNDS ONLY). On the 26th FEBRUARY 2007, two (2) of my husband's relatives Traveled to London and presented some DOCUMENT(S) AND DEATH CERTIFICATE to YORKSHIRE BANK authorities and claim the fixed amount only. They however never knew that my husband operated the fixed deposit account with a LINK ACCOUNT. They has collected the whole fund from my husband fixed deposit account only and hurriedly share it among themselves. They did all this to me because of my health condition and they knew fully well that no body will fight on my behalf. They forgot that GOD is up there Watching. Due to what my husband relatives did to me without Conscience, I started thinking and crying every day by day andby so doing my health condition got so bad. I went to hospital here in Ghana for treatment. The name of the hospital is stated below. I am sending you this mail from hospital. GEOMMIE CANCER HOSPITAL,PO Box 128 accra tincany,Postcode 121 National CapitalDistrict Accra-Ghana Just yesterday, my doctor told me that I would not last for the next three weeks due to the cancer problem. Now you know the extent of my misfortunes and tribulations and you can understand why I can not trust myself to more than one person, as it would be dangerous for me.So please take everything into consideration, resolve quickly and energetically. I want an organization or an individual out there that will use the remaining fund £580,000.00 in my husband Domiciliary Account for orphanages, widows, propagating the word of God and to endeavor that the house of God is maintained. The Bible made us to understand that blessed is the hand that giveth. I took the above decision because I don't have any child that will inherit this money and YORKSHIRE BANK AUTHORITIES will confiscate this money after my death. I don't want my husband relatives to know about this money (£580,000.00) because they are not Christians and they are extremely wicked. I don't want a situation where this money will be used in an ungodlyway. 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. Please, fill your confirmation details below and send it to me immediately.YOUR CONFIRMATIONDETAILS:-1. Your Full Name:2. Sex:3. Date of Birth:4. Full HouseAddress: (P.O.Box not accepted)5. Occupation:6. Country:7. TelephoneNumber(s) As soon as I receive the above required information from you, I will infom my late husband's Lawyer in London about this development and I will instruct him to follow everything up Legally to make sure that YORKSHIRE BANK LONDON release the money (£580,000.00) to you as my distant cousin. I will send POWER OF ATTORNEY AND AUTHORISATION LETTER to YORKSHIRE BANK LONDON empowering them to transfer the money to you. I will also send my MARRIAGE LICENSE to YORKSHIRE BANK LONDON for prove.I want you and the organization to always pray for me because the lord is my shepherd. My happiness is that I lived a life of a worthy Christian. Whoever 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 because at the end of the day every one of us shall give account of himself to GOD (Rom. 14 vs. 12). Trusting you will faithfully carry out my instructions.Remain blessed in the Lord, Hoping to receive your reply soon. Yours in Christ,Mrs. Florence Koffi
