I am Mrs. Ruth Smith from Iceland, married to Late Engr. Louis Smith {PhD} who lived and worked in United Kingdom, before he died on the 22nd of August 2008. We were married for twenty four years without a child. He died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days. When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of USD 18M Dollars. with a Bank in Europe. Presently, this money is still with the Bank and the management just wrote me as the beneficiary that our account has been DORMANT and if I, as the beneficiary of the funds, do not re-activate the account; the funds will be CONFISCATED or I rather issue a letter of authorization to somebody to receive it on my behalf. Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not last for the next Eight months due to cancer problem. Having known my condition I decided to hand over this funds to someone who can help me reach out to the poor and needy, and with this, I assure you that you will be greatly rewarded for what you have chosen to do. Although we are knowing each other for the first time but I believe god has directed me to you as i prayed and searched over the internet for assistance, I got your contact from a web directory. Presently, I\'m in Landspitalinn National University Hospital Reykjavik here in Iceland where I have been undergoing treatment for esophageal cancer. I have since lost my ability to talk and my doctors have told me that I have only a few months to live. It is my last wish to see this money distributed to charity organizations anywhere in the World. Because relatives and friends have plundered so much of my wealth since my illness, I cannot live with the agony of entrusting this huge responsibility to any of them. Please, I beg you in the name of God to help me Stand-in as the beneficiary and collect the Funds from the Bank. I want a person that is God-fearing who will use this money to fund charity organizations, orphanages, hospitals. schools etc. Be assured that you stand no risk as this is my money, I and my late husband labored for it, I as the next of kin has the sole power to donate the funds to who ever I want. As i am here in the hospital they are around me and they have sold virtually all I have here in Iceland that me and my husband labored for and what they wait to hear is that i am dead so that they lay their hands on my last belongings here on earth, But that does not bother me because things of the earth are canal and there is an eternal home for me which there is enough enjoyment. I do not want them to know about this deposit that is why i am communicating with you only on email and i am making communication with the finance firm also who understands my predicament. All i need is your absolute trust, commitment, confidentiality and honesty because i want to see my late husbands vision fulfilled before i leave this world. My spirit directed me to you as i prayed and searched over the internet for someone to help me since I don\'t have any child that will inherit this money and my husband\'s relatives has already misused all that he had left behind for them, and I do not want any more of that, I want some one who would use this money wisely. I would not be able to communicate with you over the phone, because of my soundless voice and presence of my husband\'s relatives around me always. I don\'t want them to know about this development. I will want you to get back to me that you will be absolutely honest about this transaction and you will keep aside %30 of the funds for helping the poor and needy.. Also you have to assure me you will keep this transaction confidential and you will be willing to contact the finance firm which is located in Europe and finalize all necessary formalities as to the reactivation of my dormant account, and the release of the fund to you. I will also want to know a little more about you regarding your life, what you do for a living so as for me to know you will be able to complete this. At the moment i cannot write much because of my health and i do not know when my time will be up so i require your urgent response if you are trustworthy and willing to help me finalize this transactions so that i will immediately write my attorney to prepare a letter of authority/power of attorney making you beneficiary to my fund as all other documents are with the finance firm as i sent it to them for safe keeping so my family members will not lay their hands on it. To prepare this document i will require your FULL NAMES, ADDRESS, DATE OF BIRTH AND GENDER. With this document you will contact the finance firm to arrange the transfer of the fund to you. I await your urgent response, so I can have my attorney prepare the legal documents in which you would use in contacting the bank for the immediate release of the funds to you. Thanks a lot and god bless. Ruth .E. Smith |
