I was brought up from a motherless babies home was married to my late husband for twenty years without a child, died in a fatal motor accident Before his death we were true Christians, Since his death I decided not to re-marry again, I sold all my inherited belongings and deposited all the sum of $11.6million dollars with a 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 uthorization to somebody to receive it on my behalf since I can not come over because of my illness they will get it confiscated.I'm with my laptop in a hospital where I am having my treatment for cancer of the breast, I have since lost my ability to talk and 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 organization of your choice and distributed each year among the charity organization, the poor and the motherless babies home where i come from, I want you to be God fearing, also use this money for 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 do contact me via :(csmother777@gmail.com)Waiting for your reply,Yours in Trust,Mother Carolina Starr.
