From: Mrs Chantell Wepener
Beloved,
Compliments of the day to you ! By this e-mail, I do sincerely apologise for
my intrusion of your privacy. However, I have a serious concern with which I
believe you might be of help and for this reason, I can not but reach out to
someone . My name as given above is Mrs Chantell Wepener. I am married to
Mr sammy Wepener who worked with the embassy in ABIDJAN IVORY COAST for
nine years before he died in the plane crash On 31st of July 2000 with other
passengers aboard. We were a dedicated Christians and decided to serve
mankind to the best of our ability. Since his death, I have lived with the
memories, fighting effortelessly to lead a normal life but all to no avail.
I suffered mentally and psychologically and shortly was diagnosed of Cancer.
I lived with the scourge praying earnestly for divine intervention. Just a
month ago, the doctor informed me that I have just about three months more
to live. I was not shocked. I accepted the news in good fate. Brethren, it
is in this regard that I write to you, having sourced your address from a
database in my late husband's internet dozier after fervent prayers.
Before my husband died, he deposited a sum of $5.6Million (Five Million six
Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) with a bank in cote d'ivoire. I have
wholeheartedly decided to donate the entirety of this fund to any devoted
believer or organisation and to achieve this, I need an individual that will
utilize this funds adherently for these purposes.
1: For the sick, less-privilledged and destitute,
2: For the Widows and the motherless babies e.t.c.
3: orphanages, Research centres and widows propagating.
These are the wishes of a dying woman. They are the desires of my heart,
hence my decision as I do not have a child to take over my inheritance.
Please, understand that I am not doing this because of fear of death as I am
certain where my place already is. At this point, friends, well wishers, and
my husbands relatives are all clampered around me as I sojourn in my
hospital bed and are unaware of my plight, hence I will not be able to make
an open conversation. When I receive your response, I will direct you at
once to the bank.
All I need from you is Truthfulness, Honesty and Sincerity assuring me that
you can in all honesty and obedience utilize the funds for the purpose with
which it is meant. In any a case, a quick response from you will be highly
appreciated as I am already on a count-down and may not have ample time to
finalize the procedures. Any delay in response may compel me to source for
other measures or perhaps choose the alternative which I will not be happy
to. Please, do not see this as a strange possibility or an unbeliveable
opportunity to make wealth, rather see this as a rare chance to assist the
less priviledged in truth and in spirit with a substance. I await your
immediate response.
Thank You and Bless You richly!
Yours Sincerely
Mrs Chantell Wepener
