Subject: DEAR BELOVED FRIEND
FROM MRS ESTHER WILFORD OF NETHERLANDS
Dearest one,
I am the above named person from NETHERLANDS.I am married to Dr.Franklyn Wilford who worked with NETHERLANDS Embassy in Nigeria 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.a Before his death, we were both born again christians.When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of Fifteen million, four hundred thousand U.S.Dollars (US$15.4) with ASSURANCE BANK OF NIGERIA PLC Presently, this money is still with the above mentioned bank and the management just wrote me mas the beneficiary to come forward to receive the money or rather issue a letter of authorisation to somebody to receive it on my behalf if I can not come over.Again,I'm with my laptop in hospital where I have been undergoing treatment for cancer of the lungs. I have since lost my ability to do some things well 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 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 accrued from the bank and distribute it accordingly. I want a person that has God fearing, that will use this money on churches,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 don't have any child that will inherit this money.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 replywill give me room in searching for another person for this same purpose. Hoping to hear from you soonest. Yours Sister in Christ, MRS ESTHER WILFORD NB:Please kindly contact me for arrangements regarding this transaction and assure me that you will act acordingly on;
estwilford@gmail.com
yours
esther wilford
