Subject: My Dearly beloved,
From: SisPatricia Law
Here writes Mrs Patricia Law suffering from cancerous ailment. I was married to Joseph Suseng law an Englishman who work with the Shell Petroleum Development Company in Nigeria who is now dead. My husband was also into private practice all his life before his death, Our life together as man and wife lasted for Seventeen years without child. My husband died after a protracted illness. My husband and I made a vow to uplift the down-trodden and the less-privileged individuals as he had passion for persons who can not help themselves due to physical disability or financial predicament.
I can adduce this to the fact that he needed a Child from the relationship, which never came.When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of Twenty Eight Million Dollars ($28,000,000.00 USD) which were derived from his vast estates and investment in capital market with his bank in Nigeria.
Presently, this money is still with the Bank. Recently, my Doctor told me that I have limited days to live due to the cancerous problems I am suffering from.Though what bothers me most is the Paralysis of both legs that I have in addition to the cancer. With this hard reality that has befallen my family, and me.
I have decided to donate this fund to you and want you to use this gift which comes from my husbands effort to fund the upkeep of widows, widowers, orphans,destitute, the down-trodden, physically challenged children, barren-women and persons who prove to be genuinely handicapped financially.
I took this decision because I do not have any child that will inherit this money and my husband relatives are bourgeois and very wealthy persons and I do not want my husband hard earned money to be misused or invested into ill perceived ventures. I do not want this money to be misused hence the reason for taking this bold decision. I am not afraid of death hence I know where I am going. I do not need any telephone communication in this regard due to my deteriorating health and because of the presence of my husband relativesaround me.
I do not want them to know about this development.
As soon as I receive your reply I will also issue you a Letter of Authority that will empower you as the original beneficiary of this fund, I shall also give you the contact of the bank in Nigeria. My happiness is that I lived a life worthy of emulation.Due to the dubious means my late husband's relatives are trying to set up, you are STRONGLY advised to contact me through my personal email address: sisatricialaw@hotmail.com
Please assure me that you will act just as I have stated herein.
Hope to hear from you soon,Sis Patricia Law.sisatricialaw@hotmail.com
