CRAVE YOUR INDULGENCE, Greetings to you in the most wonderful name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.His richest blessings shall be upon you forever. I am Mrs. Grace Edwards,I am 51 years old from Netherlands, I am deaf and suffering from a long time cancer of the Lungs which also affected my brain, from all indication my conditions is really deteriorating and it is quite obvious that, according to my doctors they have advised me that I live for the next two months, this is because the cancer stage has gotten to a very bad stage. I was brought up from a motherless babies home, was married to my late husband for twenty years without a child. My husband died in a fatal motor accident.Before his death we were true Christians. Since his death I decide did not to re-marry, I sold all my inherited belongings and deposited all the sum of $18.5million dollars with a reputable bank as a fixed deposit amount with interest and most of the interest has gone into my hospital bills. Presently, this money is still with them and the management just wrote me as the true owner to come forward to receive the money for keeping it so long or rather issue a letter of authorization to somebody to receive it on my behalf since I can not come over because of my illness or they get it confisticated. Presently, I'm with my laptop in a hospital where I have been under going treatment for 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. It is my last wish to see that this money is invested to any organization of your choice and distributed each year among the charity organization, the poor and the motherless babies home where I come from. I want you to be God fearing, to also use this money to fund churches,orphanages and widows. I took this decision, before i rest in peace because my time will soon be up. As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the Bank. I will also issue you a letter of authority that will empower you as the new beneficiary of my fund. Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated herein. I shall wait at your prayerful reply. Yours in The Lord, Mrs. Grace Edwards.
