Subject: I SELECTED YOU AFTER MY PRAYER,
I SELECTED YOU AFTER MY PRAYER,
I am Mrs. Maria Monjonk, a citizen of United Kingdom, a widow to late Steven
Monjonk. I am 61 years old, suffering from long time cancer of the breast,
from all indication my conditions is really deteriorating and it is quite
obvious that I would not live more than three months, according to my doctor
and from all indication regarding to my medical analysis, the cancer stage
has gotten to a very bad stage after the series of breast surgery
conducted by the specialist .
All the efforts made to put a resuscitative measure were to no avail; my
doctors confirmed that my tendency of lasting long is not transparent.
My late husband was a Greek shipping tycoon notable for his great wealth,
influential extended family, and charitable activities all his life before
his death, my husband died after a protracted illness in may 2nd,
2006.though during the period of our marriage we could not give birth to
any child. My late husband was very wealthy and after his death, I inherited
all his assets.
following to my present condition, the doctors have advised me that since I
do not have an alternative, that I should better now decide what I will do
with my late husband's proceeds so I now decided to share some part of this
proceeds, to contribute to the development of charity in America, Africa,
Asia and Europe especially to create solution to the problem of the less
privileged and orphanages.
I selected you after visiting the website I prayed for, I am willing to
donate the sum eleven million eight hundred thousand united state dollars of
($11,800,000usd), to the less privileged. Please I want you to note that
this fund is lying in a security finance firm in Europe, and upon my
instruction, I will file in an application for the release of the fund in
your name.
lastly, I honestly pray that this money when released will be used for the
said purpose even though I may be late then, because I have come to find out
that wealth acquisition without goodwill to humanity is vanity and I made
the promise to myself that the fund will be used for a better tomorrow,
remember give, it shall be given unto you.
Best regards and god bless you as I wait to hear from you soon.
Your sister,
Mrs. Maria Monjonk
