My Dear Friend,
Greetings to you and your family from my sincere heart.
It might be a surprise to you reading from me again as I had
written an earlier mail to you but without response.
Presently, I’m in the hospital where I am undergoing treatment
for Esophageal Cancer. Yesterday my Doctor told me that I will
not live up to 60 days. I am Mrs. Maria Mpata, widow to late
Colonel Andre Mpata, former deputy defence attaché to Benin
consulate in Croatia. My husband was killed by those who were
envious of his position in the same office.
Now there is 1.6 Million Dollars my late husband deposited in a
bank, here in Benin.
Before his death he vowed to use his wealth for the orphanages. I
have decided to donate this money to an individual, who will
utilise it in fulfilment of the last request of my husband.
Please reply with your full name, age, phone number, address and
occupation. I will give you more details after consideration.

Yours Sincerely,
Mrs. Maria Mpata
