From: Mrs SANDRA SMITHI CALVE YOUR INDULGENCE TO READ THIS MAIL
Greetings to you in the most wonderful name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ,As a matter of fact I got your email address from a mail Directory in my late husband's private library and decided to mail you for a permission for the help of this fund and i sincerely hope you will understand my plight,His richest blessings shall be upon you forever.I am Mrs SANDR SMITH,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 conditions 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 FOUR months,this is because the cancer stage has gotten to avery bad stage.I was brought up from a motherless babies home, was married to my late husband for twenty years without achild .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 all the sum of $18.5million dollars with a Security Company This money is still with them and the management just wrote me as the true owner to come forward to receive the money or rather issue a letter of authorization to somebody to receive it on my behalf since I can not come forth because of my illness or they get it confisticated. I'm in a hospital 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.I t is my last wish to see that this money is invested to any organisation of your choice and distributed among the charity organization,the poor and the motherless babies home. I want you to also use this money to fund orphanages, churches and to expend the kingdom of God 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 authorisation and send to you the certificate of deposit of the money, that will proof you as the new beneficiary of my late husband funds. Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated herein.Any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing for another person for this same purpose. I shall wait at your prayerful reply. Yours in His Service, Mrs SANDRA SMITH
