- My dear in the Lord,Greetings to you in the most name of our Almighty God. His richest blessings shall be upon you forever!I am Mrs. Tatiana Georgieva. I am 52 years old from Bulgaria, based in Japan; I am deaf and suffering from a long time cancer of the Lungs which also affected my brain. From all indication, my condition is really deteriorating and it is quite obvious that, according to my doctors they have advised me that I will live for the next few months, this is because the cancer has eating up my lungs.I was brought up in a motherless babies home, was married to my late husband for twenty years without a child. My husband died in a fatal motor accident and before his death we were true Christians. Since his death I decided not to re-marry, I sold all our inherited and deposited the total sum of $30 Million (Thirty Million US Dollars with a financial institution). Presently, this money is still with them and Recently, my Doctor told me that I have a limited or numbered days on earth and that my life span will not exceed 150days due to the cancerous problems I am suffering from, 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. I am not afraid of death hence I know where I am going. I know that I am going to be with the Almighty when I eventually pass on. The Almighty will fight my case and I shall hold my peace. I do not need any telephone communication in this regard due to my deteriorating health, With God all things are possible. As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of my attorney whom i have entrusted every details regarding this fund, he will be able to issue a letter of authorization to somebody to receive it on my behalf since I cannot go over there, because of my illness or forfeit it into their recovery vault.My wish is to see that this money is invested in any organization of your choice and distribute the fund each year among the charity organizations, the poor and the motherless babys homes. As Soon as i received your response here i will send you the contact of my attorney, he will handle the legal aspect of this transaction, he will also issue a Letter of Authority and power of attorney on this regards, making you the original beneficiary of this fund with other related documents. I want you as a God fearing person, to also use this money to fund churches/orphanages homes. I took this decision, before I rest in peace because my time will soon be up. I will advice you to be sincere with my attorney, to enable him work out all the vital document in your favor.Yours truly,Mrs. Tatiana Georgieva
