Subject: Attention Please.
Hello My Dear Friend, Greetings to you.
I am Mrs.Mary Johnson, an aging widow suffering from long time illness. I am on admission at the intensive care unit of a London hospital, located at Fulham road in west London United Kingdom. I am currently undergoing treatment there for late-stage terminal cancer of the lungs. I am computer literate, I rarely talk but have my personal laptop with me and have the permission of my physicians to use it once in a while, and hence I am writing from my sick bed in the (ICU). My condition is deteriorating and according to my doctors, I may not be alive in the next couple of months, unless there is a divine intervention.
Please do not view my plea as a contrived plot. My trusted family attorney who would have executed my WILL & TESTAMENT on my behalf died in November year after a brief illness. I therefore prayed fervently and by the special grace of GOD, I was led to you.
I was married to late Engineer Steve Johnson for twenty years without having an offspring. My late husband had chronic cardiovascular condition and died of cardiac arrest few years ago. Steve and I lived in Nigeria for over 18 years, where he (a petrochemical engineer by profession) worked an executive director in a multinational oil servicing and exploration conglomerate, before his untimely death. He also established huge private investments that I supervised before his death and which forms the major source of our fortune.
Consequent upon the shocking demise of my priceless husband, I opted as a rule, not to re-marry. When medical reports revealed that my cancer ailment have become terminal & more so because I do not have a direct next of kin to bequeath all that STEVE & I labored for, I sold off all our choice assets, landed properties and other valuable family treasures and deposited the proceeds amounting to $10,000,000.00 USD (TEN MILLION U.S DOLLARS ONLY) with First Inland Bank of Nigeria plc. The management of the bank has written me as the sole beneficiary of the fund because of the unserviceable status of the fund over the years and suggested to me in a 2 paragraph statement to issue a letter of authorization to someone who can manage the fund on my behalf because of my terminal illness and also threatened that the fund could be confiscated upon my failure to adhere to their rules and regulations as clearly spelt out in their code of conduct.
It is my last WISH that 85% of this fund is invested substantially in any charitable organization of your choice and administered as you may deem fit, especially to the orphanage homes. You are at liberty to also donate part of the funds to churches and mosques and to those struck by natural disaster. I have earmarked 5% of the total fund to run cost of administration of WILL & TESTAMENT and also on logistics and other sundry arrangements that you may require. This is a painstaking decision I have taken in other to help humanity in my little capacity as a people driven entrepreneur and a very God fearing woman before I bow to God's sovereignty.
I shall avail you with the official contact information of the First Inland Bank Plc, to enable you contact the Bank without delays. I will also issue you with an official letter of authorization so that my bank will recognize your status as the new beneficiary of my ESTATE, FUND, and WILL & TESTAMENT. Interestingly 10% of the total sum is set aside as your compensation for accepting to play this significant role for me and I hope you will appreciate my kind gesture. The onus has fallen on you to assume this selfless and noble responsibility that will catalyze change by exploring and promoting the development of new interventions that will benefit the poorest of the poor when the fund is transferred into your bank account.
I needed a very honest and God fearing person that will use the fund for God's work, I found your profile from the Internet here, and I decided to contact you. Your suggestions and ideas will be highly regarded. Now permit me to ask these few questions: –
1. Can you honestly and willingly help me as your sister?
2. Can I completely trust you?
Please if you would be able to use the funds for the Lord's work,
Kindly reply back immediately for further details.
