Subject: Greeting to you.
My Dear Friend,
Greeting to you.
firstly, I got your email address from a mail Directory and decided to mail
you for a permission to go ahead.
I am Mrs. Joan Gates United Kingdom, married to Dr. James R. Gates who worked
with Texaco Oil Company in London, before he died in a ghastly motor accident
on his way to a Board meeting. My Husband and I were married without any
children,and I decided not to re-marry and presently I am 69 Years old. When my
late husband was Alive he deposited the sum of $16.5M. (Sixteen Million Five
Hundred Thousand U.S. Dollars) with a Bank. Presently this money is still with
the Bank and the management just wrote me as the beneficiary to come forward to
receive the money or rather Issue a letter of authorization to somebody to
receive it on my behalf. I am presently in a hospital where I have been
undergoing treatment Cancer of the lungs and inability to talk and my doctors
have told me that I have only a few months to live so I think the best thing to
do is to use the money for charity purposes. I want a person who is trustworthy
that I will make the beneficiary of my late Husband's Fund deposited with the
bank so that the person can get the money and utilize 70% of this money to fund
churches, orphanages and widows around the world and keep the remaining 30% for
his effort.
At the moment I cannot take any telephone calls due to the fact that my
relatives (They had squandered the funds I gave them for this purpose before
now and are around me I have been helping orphans orphanage/motherless homes. I
have also donated some money for humanitarian needs in Sudan, South Africa,
Brazil, Spain, Austria, Germany and some Asian countries. I have been touched
to the good work of humanity through you, rather than allow my relatives to use
my husband's hard earned funds inappropriately. I know i have never met you but
my mind tells me to do this, and I hope you act sincerely.
I want you send me the following information, if you are interested as an
enable that you are the right beneficiary. As soon as I receive your
information, I shall give you the contact details of the bank, authorization
letter and my picture with the doctor as an authenticity of my integrity.
Your Full Name,
Your Contact Address,
Your Phone Number,
Your Age,
Your Occupation and
Any of your identifications
This is to ensure that nothing jeopardizes my last wish on Earth. I await
your urgent reply. {[email protected]}
