Dear God's elect,
I am compelled to write you after seeking guidance from God and I am writing this mail to you with tears on my eyes and great sorrow in my heavy heart. My Name is Rebecca Yeaton and I am contacting you from my country Cape Verde Islands, I want to go straight to the point because I don't have any other option than to share this information with you and to open up to you before you will understand my present predicament. I am married to Mr Philip Yeaton who worked with the embassy in Burkina Faso for nine years before he died in the year 2005. We were married for eleven years without a child. He died after a brief illness that lasted for only a few days and the autopsy result proved it to be poisoning.
Since his death I decided not to remarry; when my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of USD8.2 Million in a bank in Ouagadougou, the capital city of Burkina Faso. Presently this deposit is still there and I have no use for it considering my condition. He gained this amount through his private involvement in transactions with the then management Etruscan Gold Mine (www.etruscan.com/s/BurkinaFaso.asp) during the period there in Burkina Faso.
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 diabetes which is rapidly deteriorating my body. Due to my condition I decided to hand you over the responsibility of claiming and distributing the fund to less-privileged people. You will utilize this money in the way I am going to instruct herein.
I want you to take 20 percent of the total money for your personal use While 80% of the money will go to charity; people in the street and helping the orphanages. I grew up as an orphan and I don't have anybody as my family member so in my heart such persons are my family. I am doing this so that God will forgive my sins and accept my soul when my day will come because this sickness has taken a great toll on me.
As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the holding bank in Burkina Faso and I will also instruct them to recognize you as my appointed trustee in claiming the deposit; that is if you assure me that you will act accordingly as I have just told you.
God bless you.
Rebecca Yeaton
