GREETINGS!
I am sure this mail would be coming to you as a surprise since we have
never met before and you would also be asking why I have decided to choose
you amongst the numerous internet users in the world, precisely I cannot
say why I have chosen you but do not be worried for I come in peace and
something very positive is about to happen to your life and the lives of
others through you if only you can carefully read and digest the message
below.
The internet has made the world global villages where you can reach
anybody you have not met before.
Before I move further, permit me to give you a little of my biography, I
am Mother Judith Alex Wilcox, 87 Years old woman and the wife of Late Sir
Alex Wilcox who died in a Plane crash on Monday the 7th of September 1998
GMT 4:22 UK while they were flying from New York to Geneva. Please see
site below for more information:

After the death of my husband I became the Head of his investment and now
that I am old and weak I have decided to spend the rest of my life with my
family and loved ones whom I never had time for during the course of my
business life, but before the death of my husband we had a plan to use the
last days of our lives to donate half of what we had worked for to the
less privilege/charity homes and the other half for ourselves, family
members and close friends. Unfortunately, my husband is not alive today
to do this with me and I am very weak and old now, hence I have decided to
do this philanthropic work on behalf of my late husband and I.
Presently, I have willed out almost half of our assets to several
charities homes/less privilege in different countries.
Despite the agreement between my late husband and I to give aid to the
deprived, we also agreed to render support to an unknown individual we
have not met before due to the fact that when we were still young in life
we received an anonymous help from an individual we did not know and which
we have not being able to know till date, the impact we got from such
gesture gave us the impression to pay it forward by doing same to an
unknown person.
I am sorry to inform you that you will never have the chance to know me
nor will I respond to your next email because I have just concluded the
assignment which my husband and I have agreed upon before his sudden death
and you happened to be the Unknown beneficiary of our last WILL
irrespective of your previous financial status. Hence, I need you to do me
a favor by accepting our offer that will cost you nothing.
Three weeks ago I deposited a Cheque in the sum of $1,500,000.00 US
Dollars with INTERWORLD HOLDING COMPANY to deliver to you upon your
contact with them, but I was unable to notify you timely because of my ill
health, what you have to do now is to contact the COMPANY as soon as
possible to know when they will deliver your package to you because of the
expiring date on the Cheque. For your information, I have paid the
delivering cost, the Insurance premium and clearance Certificate fee of
the Cheque showing that it is not meant to sponsor terrorism in your
country. The only money you are expected to pay is $135 US Dollars for the
Security Keeping of the Cheque for three weeks. I would have paid the fee
but the company insisted that I should not because they don't know when
you will be contacting them and to avoid further cost.
You have to contact the Company now for the delivery of your Cheque with
this information bellow;
Contact Person: Mr. Anderson White
Email;***o2.pl
Phone No;+***0
You are to reconfirm the below information to them to avoid any mistake on
the Delivery and ask them to provide you with the method they wish to use
in receiving their accrued security keeping fee of $135 US Dollars for
their immediate action.
Postal address:
Full Names:
Direct telephone number:
Security Keeping Code: (ITW/001/C)
Below is the security keeping code: (ITW/001/C) of you draft, you are to
also present it to them for verification before delivery.
Note: Please do not thank me nor my husband, all I need you to do is to
invest wisely with it and do the same good to someone’s life someday as
this world would be a better community if we render selfless services to
one another.
Also, be notified that I will no longer be reading my emails or surfing
the internet as I have retired completely from the outside world to my
ranch, at this moment all further correspondence should be forwarded to
the courier company for the delivery of your Cheque to you.
Yours Faithfully,
Mrs. Judith Alex Wilcox
