*My Dear Friend,

Greeting to you in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ,
Let me first of all inform you, I got your email address from a mail
Directory and decided to mail you for a permission to go ahead. I am Mrs.
Anna Gates from United Kingdom, married to Dr. Harry R. Gates who worked
with Texaco Oil Company in Nigeria before he died in a ghastly motor
accident on his way to a Board meeting. My Husband and me were married but
without any children. Since his death 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 authority to somebody to receive it on my behalf. I am presently
in a hospital where I have been undergoing treatment Cancer of the lungs. I
have since lost my ability 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.

I have been touched to donate from what I have inherited from my late
husband to charity through you for the good work of humanity, 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.

As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact details of the
Bank. I will also issue you a letter of authority that will prove you as the
new beneficiary of this fund.Please assure me that you will act accordingly
as I stated here in and Keep this contact confidential till such a time this
funds get to your Custody. This is to ensure that nothing jeopardizes my
last wish on Earth.

May the good lord bless you -Amen, please send response to my private
address. ( [email protected] )

I await your urgent reply.

Regards,

Mrs. Anna Gates.*
