Subject: Please Treat as urgent
Hello My Dear,
I am Agnes Clifford now undergoing medical treatment for Cancer. I was
married for Sixtheen Years before my Husband (Professor Phillip Clifford)
died on September 15 2003. Well I will only try to let you know who
Professor Phillip Clifford is by stating his philosophy of life. "Life is
worth living only if lived to the service of mankind" and "You make a living
by what you earn, but you make life by what you give" This will give you an
insight of the spirit behind what I believe and what I live for.
My Doctors has confirmed to me that I have less than Three Months to live,
so I have decided to donate my funds (USD8.6 Million) to a trustworthy
individual who will utilize it to assist the poor and the needy in
accordance to my instructions.
As soon as I have received your response, I shall give you further
directives on how you are to go about the claims of the said funds.
Best Regards,
Mrs. Agnes Clifford.
