Subject: CHARITY PROJECT FROM MRS ROSE MARRY...
*Beloved One,
I apologize if the contents in this mail are contrary to your moral ethics,
which I feel may be of great disturbance to your personal life, But please
treat with absolute secrecy and personal.*
*I pray that this email reaches you in the best of health.*
*I pray God that this message reaches you in wonderful spirit. I am making
this contact with you based on trust and confidence irrespective of the fact
that we have not met before and because of the nature of the situation I
found myself. *
*I got your contact from web directory and coupled with the information I
gathered about you from the external trade department of my country's
chamber of commerce and industry. I am Rose Marry, I was hospitalize after I
had a car accident with my family, I lost my father, mother and my two
sister who were also on board in the accident. After the accident, I have
been battling with some health problems from the major injuries that I
sustained in the cause of accident. Recently, my doctor told me that I have
some few months to live due the surgery that was conducted.*
*Though what disturbs is my presence predicament, due to the injuries that I
sustained and damaged of my spinal cords in the accident. Having known my
condition, have decided to Willing/Donate the sum of $5.5 Million (Five
Million, Five hundred thousand Dollars) to charity and individual through
you for the good work of the lord, and to help the motherless, less
privileged and also for the assistance of the widows. Because I am the only
surviving person and nobody else that will inherit this money because they
are now dead.*
*I don't want a situation whereby this deposit will be confiscated and
declared unserviceable by the official of the finance company where it was
deposited by my late father. All I want you to do is to assist in safe-keep
this fund valued at US$5.5 Million United States Dollars deposited at the
custody of the security firm before it gets confiscated or declared
un-serviceable. I seek your consent to present you as the Trustee to my late
father inheritance, so that the proceeds of this account can be paid to you.
If you are interested in carrying out this task, I want you to contact me
immediately, so that I can arrange all the modalities to affect the release
of the fund to you. I know I have never met you but my mind tells me to do
this, and I hope you act sincerely. *
*I have also decided that 40% of this money should be taken by you from the
total sum upon the success release of this fund, because I am now too weak
and fragile to do things myself because of my present health problems. I
have been given 21 working days by the finance company for the collection of
the deposited item before it will be confiscated. *
*I will appreciate your utmost confidentiality in this matter until the task
is accomplished, as I don't want anything that will jeopardize my last wish.
Kindly reach me on my alternative email: rosemarry1@live.com for more
information and explanation. *
*Kindly furnish me your full name and your address also your contact number,
so that I will prepare all relevant documents to effect the release of the
fund to you. *
*Yours Faithfully,
Mrs. Rose Marry *
