Subject: From Mrs.Evelyn (Donation for the less privileged)
I am Mrs. Evelyn Fijian from Tanzania. I am 58 years old, I am deaf,
suffering from a long time cancer of the breast that also affected my brain,
from all indication my conditions is really deteriorating, and it is
obvious
that, we were married for eleven years without a child. My husband died
after a brief illness. Before his death we were born again Christians. Since
his death I decided not to re-marry or get a child outside matrimonial home
which the Bible is against. When my late husband was alive the total sum of
$7.6Million (Seven Million six hundred thousand U.S. Dollars) was deposited
in a bank in London.
Presently, I'm in a hospital where I have been under going treatment for
esophageal cancer. I have since lost the ability to talk, my sickness has
been confirmed beyond treatment and the doctors on their recent diagnose,
confirmed to me that I may not leave
More than two months. So what kind of help is someone going to give a dieing
woman? When I had the detailed medical report from the doctors, I was
challenged after watching on CNN news about Mr. Buffet, an American rich man
who donated about 85% of his whole wealth to the service of humanity and
charity. Then after the news, I asked myself a question. If a man that is
healthy and have no sickness could render such kind of humanitarian service,
how much more myself, who have been confined at the door post of death.
Thereupon, I took the decision to use the money left behind by my late
husband, contributing to charity and humanitarian service in you country.
Since, I can not carry out this by myself because of my condition; I then
decided to offer you the thankful service. Relatives and friends have
plundered so much of my wealth since my illness; I cannot live with the
agony of entrusting this huge responsibility to any of them again.
This is how you should utilize the money. Use 5% of the whole money, to
cover up any kind of expenses you may involve in receiving this money
including the lawyer's fees. I will introduce you to my lawyer, and after my
will is prepared in your favor as the beneficiary to the money. He will
guild you until the money is transferred to your account.
Then, you have to take out 20% of the total sum for yourself, which will
serve as your payment to carry out this project. Then the rest 75% should go
into the charity service. I don't want a situation where this money will be
used in uncharitable way. As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you
the contact of the lawyer in charge. Please assure me that you will act
accordingly as I stated herein.
I look forward to your earnest response.
Thanks
Mrs. Evelyn Fijian
