Dear Beloved One.
It is by the grace of God that I see today, as I have not particularly
lived my life so well, as I never really cared for anyone (not even
myself) but my business. Having known the truth; I had no choice than to
do what is lawful and just in the sight of God for eternal life and in the
sight of man for witness of God & His Mercies and glory upon my life.
I am Mrs. hiromi suka, the wife of Mr. Mayany Suka, I am a citizens of
japan. My husband worked with the Chevron/Texaco in Russia for twenty
years before he died in the year 2004.We were married for ten years
without a child.
My Husband died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days.
Since his death I decided not to re-marry or get a child outside my
matrimonial home, When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of
$3,000,000.00 (Three Million United States Dollars with a Bank in Europe.
Presently, this money is still with the Bank and the management just wrote
me as the beneficiary that our account has been DORMANT and if I, as the
beneficiary of the funds, do not re-activate the account; the funds will
be CONFISCATED or I rather issue a letter of authorization to somebody to
receive it on my behalf (note that you need to activate this account) as I
can not come over. Presently, I'm in a hospital in Russia where I have
been undergoing treatment for esophageal cancer. I have since lost my
ability to talk and my doctors have told me that I have only a few weeks
to live.
It is my last wish to see this money distributed to charity organizations
anywhere in the World in helping human race.
Because relatives and friends have plundered so much of my wealth since my
illness, I cannot live with the agony of entrusting this huge
responsibility to any of them.
Please, I beg you in the name of God to help me Stand-in as the
beneficiary and collect the Funds from the Bank.
I took this decision because I don't have any child that will inherit this
money, and I am not afraid of death since I know where I am going to. I
don't need any telephone communication in this regard because of my
soundless voice and presence of my husband's relatives around me always. I
don't want them to know about this development.
I await your quick response to this mail as this is my last wish to see
this funds transferred before my Death.
Please my beloved for further communication on how we are going to
conclude this, reach me on my private
mail:(mrs.hiromi_suka@yahoo.com.hk)
Remain Blessed
Your Beloved Sister
Mrs. Hiromi Suka
