Dear Beloved One.
I am Mrs. Aisha Hassan, the wife of Mr. Abbas Hassan, I am a citizen of Tunisian. My husband worked with the chevron/Texaco in Russia for twenty years before he died in the year 2004.We were married for ten years without a child.
My Husband died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days.
Since his death I decided not to re-marry or get a child outside my matrimonial home, When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of
7.8 Million Pounds (Seven Million Eight Hundred Thousand Pounds) 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 (note that you need to activate this account) as I can not come over. Presently, I’m in a hospital in Russia where I have been undergoing treatment for Oesophageal cancer. I have since lost my ability to talk and my doctors have told me that I have only a few weeks to live.
It is my last wish to see this money distributed to charity organizations anywhere in the World in helping human race. 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 to help me Stand-in as the beneficiary and collect the Funds from the Bank. I took this decision because I don’t have any child that will inherit this money, and I am not afraid of death since I know where I am going to. I don’t need any telephone communication in this regard 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 await your quick response to this mail as this is my last wish to see this funds transferred before my Death.
Remain Blessed
Your Beloved Sister .
