- Dearest Beloved, 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. To that effect, I prayed and searched and got your email id from your country's Christian My names are Mrs. Christaina Voila. from Netherlands, I am 58 years old but, i am suffering from a long time cancer of the breast which is almost affecting my sensory organs. From all indication my conditions is really deteriorating and getting worse. it is quite obvious that, according to my doctors they have advised me that i may not live for the next few months, this is because my ill-stage has gotten to a very bad state. I was brought up from a motherless babies home and got married to a man who was my late husband for twenty years childlessly. My husband died in a fatal motor accident Before his death we were true Christians. Since his death I decided not to re-marry, I sold all our assets and deposited the sum of US$10 million with a Bank in london. The US$10 million is still at present with the Bank and the management of the bank notified me last week to come forward and receive the money because its account has been dormant for so long or I should rather issue a letter of authorization to someone to receive it on my behalf since I can not come over there personally because of the condition of my health. As i am writing this letter to you, I am using my 14 inch laptop computer in a hospital here in Switzerland where I have been undergoing treatment for cancer. I have completely lost the ability to talk. It is my last wish to see that this money is invested in any organisation of your choice and distributed each year among other charity homes, the less priviledged and the motherless babies home. I want you as God fearing person, to also use this money to fund churches, orphanages and widows. I took this decision, before i rest in peace because my time will soon be up. As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the 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 by replying to me through this email. Waiting to hear from you soon. Yours truly, Mrs. Christaina Voila
