ÂI need your help.
I am writing this mail to you with heavy tears In my eyes and great sorrow in my heart, My Name is
mrs catherine.thomas and I am contacting you from my country Tunisia I want to tell you this
because I don't have any other option than to tell you as I was touched to open up to you, I
married to Mr.ouedrago Brown who worked with Tunisia embassy in Burkina Faso for nine years before
he died in the year 2009.We were married for eleven years without a child.
He died after a brief illness that lasted for only five days. Since his death I decided not to
remarry, When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of US$ 8.5m (Eight Million Five
hundred Thousand Dollars) in a bank in Ouagadougou the capital city of Burkina Faso in west Africa
Presently this money is still in bank. He made this money available for exportation of Gold from
Burkina Faso mining.
Recently, My Doctor told me that I would not last for the period of seven months due to cancer
problem. The one that disturbs me most is my stroke sickness. Having known my condition I decided
to hand you over this money to take care of the less-privileged people, you will utilize this money
the way I am going to instruct here
I want you to take 30 Percent of the total money for your personal use While 70% of the money will
go to charity, people in the street and helping the orphanage. I grew up as an Orphan and I don't
have any body as my family member, just to end endeavor that the house of God is maintained. Am
doing this so that God will forgive my sins and accept my soul because these sicknesses have
suffered me so much.
As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the bank in Burkina Faso and I will
also instruct the Bank Manger to issue you an authority letter that will prove you the present
beneficiary of the money in the bank that is if you assure me that you will act accordingly as I
Stated herein.
Always reply to my alternative for security purposes ( mrscatherine.thomas@hotmail.com )
