Subject: YOUR REPLY MEANS A LOT TO ME
Hello
I am Mrs Mandy white I am married to Late Mr Hossan white of blessed memory who is an oil explorer in united kingdom for twelve years before he died in the year 5th august 2008. We were married for twelve years without a child. He died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days. Before his death we were both devoted Christians.
Since his death I too have been battling with both Cancer and fibroid problems. When my late Husband was alive he maintained an account valued at 2 million British pounds (2 Million British pounds) with a bank here in united kingdom
Recently, my doctor told me that I have only six months to Live due to cancer problem. Though what disturbs me most is my stroke sickness. Having known my condition I decided to search for a good individual to donate this fund to any individual that will utilize this money the way I am going to Instruct herein.
I took this decision because I don't have any child that will inherit this money and my husband relatives are greedy and wicked. You can imagine that they don't even visit me again in the hospital since the doctor announced to us of the six months condition. I don't want a situation where this money will be used in an wrong manner. Hence the reasons for this bold decision. I know that after death I will be with God the most beneficent and the most merciful.
I don't need any telephone communication in this regard because of my health and because of the presence of some nurses that knows my husband's relatives. I don't want them to know about this development. With God all things are possible. Instead of leaving behind such an amount to such wicked relatives, I have decided to use it to change/assist someone out there who will really appreciate it. As soon as I receive your reply on Email: I shall give you the contact information of my late husband and attorney and the Bank where the money was deposited.
A letter of authority will also be issued to the Bank by the attorney authorizing them that the said fund has been willed to you and a copy of such authorization will be forwarded to you. Since you , it will be easy to effect the changes that will enable you inherit this money. To enable this I will like to know your
Full name:
Age
Country
Occupation
I want you to always pray for me. My happiness is that I lived a true devoted Christian life worthy of emulation.
Whoever that wants to serve God must serve him in truth and in fairness. Please always be prayerful all through your life. Any delay in your reply will give room in sourcing for another individual with same first name for this same purpose. Until I hear from you, my dreams will rest squarely on your shoulders.
May the Almighty God continue to guide and protect you.
Regards,
Mrs Mandy white
