Presently, this money is still with them and the management just wrote me as
the true owner to come forward to receive the money for keeping it so long
or rather issue a letter of authorization to somebody to receive it on my
behalf since I can not come over because of my illness or they get it
confisticated.Presently,I'm with my laptop in a hospital where I have been
undergoing treatment for cancer of the lungs. I have since lost my ability
to talk and 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 any organisation of
your choice and distributed each year among the charity organization,the
poor and the motherless babies home where i come from.I want you God
fearing,to also use this money to fund churches, orphanages and widows, I
took this decision,before i rest in peace because my time will soon be up.
As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the Security
Company.
