Subject: Greetings
*Greetings *
*I know that this letter may be a very big surprise to you, I came across
your email contact from my personal search and I believe that you will be
honest to fulfill my final wish before I will die.*
* *
* I am Mrs. Jenny Johnson from LONDON I am 58 years old, and I am suffering
from a long time cancer of the breast. From all indication my condition is
really deteriorating, and my doctors have courageously advised me that I may
not live beyond next month, this is because the cancer stage has reached a
critical stage. I was brought up in a motherless baby's home, and was
married to my late husband for twenty years without a child. My husband and
I are true Christians, but quite unfortunately, he died in a fatal motor
accident. *
* *
* Since his death I decided not to re-marry, I sold all my inherited
belongings and deposited all the sum of $3.2 Million dollars with a
Financial Security Company. Presently, this money is still in their custody,
and the management just wrote me as the legitimate depositor to inform me of
the maturity date of my deposit or rather issue a letter of authorization to
somebody to receive it on my behalf since I can not come over as a result of
my illness, or they get it confiscated. Presently, I'm with my laptop in a
hospital where I have been undergoing treatment 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 in any organization
of your choice and proceeds distributed each year among the charity
organization, the poor and the motherless baby's orphanage homes and widows
around. I must let you know that this was a very hard decision, but I had to
take a bold step towards this issue because I have no further option. I hope
you will help see my last wishes come true. *
* *
* As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the
Financial Security Company. I will also issue you a letter of authority,
which will prove that you are the new beneficiary of my funds. Please assure
me that you will act accordingly as I stated herein. Hope to hear from you
soonest. *

*Please if you are really touched with my story and wish to assist me write

* *
*Yours In Christ, *
*Mrs. Jenny Johnson*
