Subject: Dearest one,
Dearest,
Greetings in most holy name of God
I’m Mrs. Marie Fredrick Edward. I am married to late Mr. Fredrick Edward, who worked with British Embassy here in Cote D' Ivorie before he died in the year 2006.We were married for twenty years without a child. He died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days.
Since his death as an honour to him I decided not to re-marry or get a child outside my matrimonial home. When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of $6.3 Million USD under suspense account in one of the famous banks here for safe keeping. Presently, my doctor confirmed to me that I have serious sickness which is cancer combine with stroke.
Heaven known my condition, I decided to donate this fund to orphanages. I want some body with conscience and fear of God that will utilize this money for the orphanages, Deaf homes and the needy after taking away expenses and some amount for his contribution.
I took this decision because I don’t have any child that will inherit this money and our relatives are too reckless. They have mismanaged and abuse investment left under their care. So, I do not want them to know about this because I prefer to give it to the needy than leave it for them to mismanage and waste our effort in life for nothing.
I don’t need any telephone communication in this regard because of the presence of my husband’s relatives around me always for I don’t want them to know about this development.
I know I will give up any day but my happiness is that I lived a worthy life as much as I can. I want you to pray for me and always be prayerful all through your life. And Show little help to those in need especially those you are better than whether you know them or not and God will continue to bless you.
If you are sincere and know you will do as I said get back to me with your complete name, address, telephone number and what kind of work you do for the living.
As soon as I receive your reply with your particulars and assurance from you to do accordingly as I stated herein, I will introduce you to the bank and give you their contact to carry on with them.
Any delay in your reply will give me room to source for another individual for this same purpose.
Sincerely,
Mrs.Marie Fredrick Ernadas
