Subject: Dearest in the Lord
Dearest in the Lord
I am MRS DEBORAH JAMES from South Africa.I am married to Late MR DAVID JAMES of
blessed memory who was an oil explorer in NIGERIA, RIVER STATE for fifteen
years before he died in the year 2000.
We were married for twelve years without a child. He died after a brief illness
that lasted for only four days. Before his death we were both devoted to our
God
and respect other who serve him. Since his death, I too have been battling with
both Cancer and fibroid problems. When my late Husband was alive he Deposited
the sum of $18.5million (Eighteen Million, Five Hundred thousand U.S Dollars)
with a Deposit Company in Europe.the money is deposited as Family
Valuables/Treasure for security reasons.
Recently, my doctor told me that I have only six months to live due to my
cancer problem, and this lead to a stroke attack which bother me most though
because I cannot move as I use to. Having known my condition I decided to
entrust this fund to either a philanthropic organization or devoted individual
that will utilize this money the way I am going to instructs herein.30% of the
US$18.5million goes to you to ensure that you are prepared for the task ahead,
60% of this money will be used in all sincerity to fund philanthropic
organization, orphanages, widows and 5% will go to the family Attorney who will
prepare the Authorisation and the balance 5% sent to me to at least prepare for
my funeral and off-set my medical bills.
I am taking this decision because I don't have any child or devoted
relations whose behavior has left much to be desired while I am ill and above
all I don't want a situation where this money will be used in an UnGodly
manner,hence this bold decision.
Since my health is Retrogressing by the minute, you will have to send your
POSTAL ADDRESS, CONTACT PHONE NUMBER AND FAX and a little details about
yourself, because I got your address from the internet after a thorough search
with the help of my pastor who pray and help me .
As soon as I receive this information from you I will make arrangement to
prepare the Authorization through the family Attorney for you to get Possession
of the Deposit. As soon as I receive your reply and the authorization is given
to you by me, I will give you the name and contact of the Deposit company where
the money was Deposited in Europe, for claims to the consignment.
Until I hear from you, I pray that this letter bring you and your family good
tiding while my dreams to help humanity rest squarely on your shoulders.
May the Almighty God continue to guide and protect you.
Remain Blessed,
MRS DEBORAH JAMES.
