My Dear Friend,
 
Greetings to you.
 
 
firstly, I got your email address from an Email Directory and decided
to mail you for a permission to go ahead. I am Mrs. Joan Gates from
United Kingdom, married to Dr. James R. Gates who worked with Exxon
Mobil 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
Garanti Bankasi BBVA Turkey.. 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 authority to
somebody to receive it on my behalf. I am currently in a hospital
where I have been undergoing treatment for 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 
 
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 and
the 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 to send me the following information if you are interested
as an emblem 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: [email protected]
 
Regards,
Ms. Joan Gates
