Dear Good friend,
I am Dr. Oben Mark, from Britain I work as a Doctor in the
Surgicare Transform Medical Hospital, 22 Wimpole Street,
London W1M 8LD U.K.I have this patient in my hospital
apartment ward, his name is Mr. Thomas Graham from Florida;
suffering from Cancer of the lungs and after the last text
conducted by Dr K.H. Rajesh, It proves that Mr. Graham will
not survive from the illness, henceforth, he one time lost
his wife Mrs. Lyle Thomas.
In my conversation concerning him and his late wife Mrs.
Lyle Thomas and how she died,
before he was taken where he was diagnosed to be using
oxygen so that he can be able to survive for time being. He
became afraid that he might not survive the sickness since
the Doctor confirmed that the situation of his health is
very critical. And it was from there, that he told me that
the shock about his wife's death contributed 100% of his
sickness. With all he told me, made me to be in contact with
you believing that you will be a faithful and God fearing
type to handle his fund worth of ($28m USD) which he made as
deposit with a Security Firm in Europe when he was managing
his personal farm in Zimbabwe; that was later taken by the
Zimbabwean Government under the leadership of President
Robert Mugabe, which also call as a result to his illness.
While he was writing this letter he made it known to me in
confident that his personal lawyer has already secured every
information's about this deposit which he made
confidentially, he went further in given me the contact of
his lawyer and ask me to look for a God fearing person who
can be able to handle this project to carry along his wish
in life.
Towards his dream, He even stated the areas where He wants
this fund to be invested on, and they are as follows:
1, Motherless Babies or orphanage homes.
2, some part, that was been affected by
Flood disaster.
3, Building a very good Hospital in his name to save peoples
Life.
Please dear, I will like to disclose my very self to you as
the Doctor who has been taking good care of this old Man, as
soon as I see your willingness in handling this project with
the fund as He has instructed. I will also love it so much
if you can disclose your own personal information's as well
so that we can know much about our selfs, as long as you are
willing and capable of handling the fund which this old man
deposited with a Security Company, before his illness.
As soon as I receive your e-mail I will not fail to give you
the contact of Mr. Thomas
Graham's personal lawyer so that you can open up
communication with him, in other to direct and guide you
more on this project regarding the instruction Mr. Graham
left with him as his accredited attorney since he noticed
that the situation of his health is getting out of hand.
Thanks so much, I have to stop here till I read from you and
to see your willingness over
this faithful assistance that will make this man dream to
come through.
Yours
Sincerely,
Dr.Oben Mark.
