Dear friend
Greetings in the name of God,Pls let this not sound strange to you for my
only surviving lawyer who would have done this died early this year.i prayed
and got you email id from your countrys guestbook which i have been with my
late husband and liked to visit once more if God will in his infinite
mercies.
I am Mrs.Mary Louis from Canada,I am 58 years old,i am suffering from a long
time cancer of the breast which also affected my brain,from all indication
my conditions is really deteriorating and it is quite obvious that,
according to my doctors they have advised me that i may not live for the
next two months,this is because the cancer stage has gotten to a very bad
stage.
I was brought up from a motherless babies home was married to my late
husband for twenty years without a child ,my husband died in a fatal motor
accident Before his death we were true beleivers.Since his death I decided
not to re-marry,I sold all my inherited belongings and deposited all the sum
of 10million dollars with a First Inland Bank.
Presently, this money is still with them and the management just wrote me as
the true owner to come forward to receive the money for keeping it so long
or rather issue a letter of authorization to somebody to receive it on my
behalf since I can not come over because of my illness or they get it
confisticated.
Presently, I'm with my laptop in a hospital here in london where I have been
undergoing treatment for cancer of the lungs.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 to any organisation of your choice and distributed each year among
the charity organization,the poor and the motherless babies home.
I want you as God fearing person, to also use this money to fund churches
and muslim, orphanages and widows,I took this decision, before i rest in
peace because my time will so on be up.
As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the First
Inland Bank.I will also issue you a letter of authority that will prove you
as the new beneficiary of my fund. Please assure me that you will act
accordingly as I stated herein.
