Subject: Re: YOUR ASSISTANCE
Dear Sir/Madam,
Greetings, my names are Mrs. Linda Hoffman Now undergoing medical treatment here in Mauella Hospital Birmingham UK.Iam married to Dr. Richard S.Hoffman. We were married for fifteen years without a child. Before his death he made a vow to use his wealth for the down trodden and the less privileged in the society.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 five million six hundred and forty thousand Euros (5,600,000 EURO) In my account. Recently,my Doctor told me that I would not last for the next 45 days due to cancer problem. Though what disturbs me most is my stroke.
Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to an individual or better still a God fearing person who will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct here in. I want an individual that will use this fund to provide succour to poor and indigent persons, orphanages, and widows and for propagating peace in the universe.
I understand that blessed is the hand that gives. I took this decision because I do not have any child that will inherit this my wealth and properties and my husband relatives are not inclined to help the poor. I do not want my husband's hard earned money to be misused or spent in the manner in which my late husband did not specify.
I do not want a situation where this money will be used in an ungodly manner, hence the reason for taking this bold decision. I am not afraid of death hence I know where I am going. I know that I am going to be in the bosom of the Almighty.
I do not need any telephone communication in this regard because of my health and because of the presence of my husband's relatives around me always. I do not want them to know about this development. With God all things are possible. As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contacts of my Attorney. I will also issue you a letter of authority that will empower you
as the original beneficiary of this fund. I want you to always pray for me. My happiness is that I lived a life worthy of emulation. Whosoever that wants to serve the Almighty must serve him with all his heart and mind and always be prayerful all through your life.
Any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing for an individual for this same purpose.Please assure me that you will act according to my specification.
I await your Prompy correspondence to my E-mail:-Hoffman.l@live.com
Yours Sincerely
Mrs.Linda Hoffman
