Subject: GREETINGS IN THE NAME OF GOD.
Greetings in the name of God,
I am Mother Berbera Owen from netherland am 58 years old, i am deafand suffering from a longtime cancer of the breast which also affectedmy brain,from all indication my conditions is really deteriorating andit is quite obvious,according to my doctors they have advised methat i may not live for the next two months,this is because the cancerstage has gotten to a very bad condition.
I was brought up from a motherless babies home and was married to mylate husband,Howard Owen for twenty years without a child, he died in a fatal motor accident Before his death we were true Christians. Since hisdeath I decided not to re-marry, I sold all my inherited belongingsand deposited all the sum of $8.6million dollars with a SecurityCompany.
Presently,this money is still with them and the management just wroteme as the true owner to come forward to receive the money for keepingit so long or rather issue a letter of authorization to somebody toreceive it on my behalf since I can not come over because of myillness or they get it confisticated.
l selected you after visiting the website i prayed and fast for threeweeks over it with advise of my pastor.
Presently, I'm with my laptop in a hospital where I have been takingtreatment for cancer of the lungs.I have since lost my ability to talkand my doctors have told me that I have only a few months to live.
It is my last wish to see that this money is invested to anyorganisation of your choice and distributed each year among thecharity organization, the poor and the motherless babies home where icome from.I want you as a God fearing person, to also use this money tofund churches, orphanages and widows, I took this decision, because it willprofit no good to me if i die and live this money behind for the security company to sit on. i know my time will soon be up.As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of theSecurity Company.
I will also issue you a power of attorney that will prove you as thenew beneficiary of my fund. Please assure me that you will actaccordingly as i stated here in.
Lastly, I honestly pray that this money when transferred will be usedfor the said purpose even though I am dead then, because i have come tofind out that wealth acquisition without Christ is vanity and i madethe promise to God that the fund will be use to support the lessprivileges.
Waiting for your reply.
Yours in Christ,Remain BlessedMother.Berbera Owen
