Subject: VERY URGENT REPLY NEEDED FROM YOU
22 JERDAN PLACE ,
Fulham SW6 1BE,
London.
Here writes Mrs Esther Johnson, suffering from cancerous ailment. I am
a widow , My late husband is Engineer Faith Joshson a Malaysian. He was
into private practice all his life before his death. Our life together
as man and wife lasted for two decades 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
people who can not help them selves due to physical disability or
financial predicament. I can adduce this to the fact that he needed a Child
from this relationship, which never came.
When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of 9,500,000 Nine
Million,Five Hundred Thousand Great Britain Pounds Sterling), which were
derived from his vast estates and investment in capital market.
Presently, this money is still with a Security Firm there in Malaysia.
Recently, my Doctor told me that I have limited days to live, due to
the cancerous problems I am suffering from. Though what borders me most
is the stroke that I have in addition to this cancer. With this hard
reality that has befallen my family, 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, physically
challenged children, barren-women and persons who prove to be
genuinely handicapped financially.
It is often said that, givers, never lack. I took this decision because
I do not have any child that will inherit this money and my husband's
relatives are bourgeois and are very wealthy, and I do not want my
husbands hard earned money to be miss used or invested into ill perceived
ventures.
I do not want a situation where this money will be used contrary to the
stipulated agreement. I am not afraid of death hence I know where I am
going, Jannah. With God , all things are possible. As soon as I
receive your reply, I shall give you the contact of the Security Firm there
in Malaysia. I will also issue you a Letter of Authority that will
empower you as the original beneficiary of this fund via my Lawyer.
My happiness is that I lived a life worthy of emulation. Please always
be focused all through your life.
Please assure me that you will act just as I have stated herein. Hope
to hear from you soon, and may the Almighty God be with you and
members of your family.
Warm Regard,
Mrs Johnson Esther
