*Please use this money for the churches and less privileged.
Greetings to you and your family in the name of God. In my search for a
reliable and God fearing person and having gotten your contact through
prayers and painstaking efforts I have decided to seek your help in carrying
out my last wishes. My name is Mrs.Marvis Smith. I'm a 65 years old woman
and from Congo. I was a merchant and owned two businesses in *Dubai. I was
also married with two children.
My husband and two children died in a car accident six years ago. Before
this happened, my business and concern for making money was all I live for.
I never really cared about other values in life. But since the loss of my
family, I have found a new desire to assist helpless families. I have been
helping orphans in orphanage/motherless homes. I have also donated some
money for humanitarian needs in Sudan, South Africa, Cameroon, Brazil, Spain,
Austria, Germany and some Asian countries. Only recently I saw on television
the colossal loss of properties and livelihood people in Canberra,
Australiathrough fire.
I was moving with great pity and compassion that I decided to make this
contribution on assisting people over there, I kept $US9, Million in a
long-term deposit account in Central Bank of Nigeria. Presently, I'm in a
hospital where I have been undergoing treatment for oesophagi cancer. I have
since lost my ability to talk and my doctors have told me that I have only
few months to live. It is my last wish to see this money distributed to
victims of the fire outbreak in Australia and other charity organization.
Because relatives and friends have plundered so much of my wealth since my
illness, I cannot live with the agony entrusting this huge responsibility to
any of them.
Please, I beg you in the name of God to help me collect the deposit and
distributes it accordingly. Use your judgment to distribute the money and
keep 30% of it to yourself. Feel free to reimburse yourself when you have
the money for any cost you incur during the process of collecting and
distributing the money. If you are willing to help, please reply as soon as
possible. May the good lord bless you and your family.
Please, send reply and all correspondences to my attorney : *Barrister.
