Subject: From: Mrs Elisabeth Johnson,
I hope this massage will meet you in good health, I was praying for a reliable and honest partner when you were spiritually introduced to me. I am Mrs. Elisabeth Johnson from Switzerland. I am married to Mr. David Johnson who worked with a construction company in Asia for twenty Years before he
died in the tsunami disasters in 2004; we were married with a child. Since his death I decided not to re-marry. When my late husband was Alive he deposited the sum of $4,800.000 USD (Four Million Eight Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) in custody of a bank in London UK.
Recently my Doctor told me that I would not last for the next three months due to my cancer problem. Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to an individual who will use this money to help orphans and the charity homes in the way I am going to instruct herein. My late husband痴
relatives who should have handled this situation for me are worldly and greedy. Since my illness, they have succeeded in stealing most of my late husband痴 properties except this money that they do not know about.
I took this decision because we have a child that will inherit this money but our son can not carry out this work only because he is just a small boy, this is why I have contacted you as God directed me that you are a trust worthy person that will utilize 40% of this money for the future and up
keeping of my son, while 45% will be used to help those in need like orphanages and widows around the world but in my name Mrs. Elisabeth Johnson, while 15% will be for you and your family for helping me in this regard.
I am presently in a hospital in Cote D'ivoire where I have been undergoing treatment of Cancer of the lungs, I have since lost my ability to talk I cannot receive telephone calls. I will like you to call my son his name is Daniel Junior; with this his Telephone number +22504958149, and his email
address (elisabethj1954@yahoo.co.jp) immediately you received this message so he can hear your voice and ask him question.
As soon as I receive your full names, address and telephone number, 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 this fund.
Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated herein and Keep this contact confidential till such a time this funds get to your Custody, this is to ensure that nothing jeopardizes my last wish on Earth.
I await your urgent reply.
Regards,
Mrs. Elisabeth Johnson
