Firstly I would want to thank Dr. Amado Mario for his commitment to sending the random message to our fifty beneficiaries, I knew I could count on him in making our discussion come to reality.

I’m not used to writing a lengthy message, but I think I would make this brief. I still find it very difficult to introduce myself, I do rather let someone else do that for me.

I am Maria Franca Fissolo, a mother, wife, and owner of Ferrero SpA and other firms. You can read more about my biography on

Looking forward to your prompt response.

I have received a letter from Maria, supposedly but just to me and no orphanage for the 2,200,000 dollars. When they said open an offshore account ranging from 1,200 dollars to 3,000 dollars I figured I would check on a site in her name.

Tell her I hope she is still enjoying life and if she really wants to send me money that would be fine with me. I do wish her good will and good health.

I am available if you want to discuss what was sent to me. 815-973-2043, or kanga2348@hotmail.com. Enjoy your life as I was hoping for me.

Sincerely, Terry. She must be an amazing woman!

Email text I just received:

"Dear Friend,

Donation of $4,400,000.00USD was made to you by Mrs. Maria Franca Fissolo, Owner of Ferrero SpA, 60% of the fund will be dispatched to the poor in your country while 40% goes to you for the hard work.

Firstly I would want to thank Dr. Amado Mario for his commitment in sending the random message to our fifty beneficiaries, I knew I could count on him in making our discussion come to reality. I still find it very difficult to introduce myself, I do Rather let someone else do that for me. I am Maria Franca Fissolo , a mother, wife and owner of Ferrero SpA and other firms. You can read more about my biography on

(Attached to this mail is a little biography about my humble self.)

Sequel to my conversation with Dr. Amado, since 1990 with the help of donations and sponsorship from different philanthropist around the world, we've cut in half the number of children who die before their broader birthday. This is a a recognizing statistic, but it Is also part of a larger story of advancement in global health. Dr. Amado and I began working together in 2011 to support childhood immunization and polio eradication. Since then, I have traveled to globally on health events like the Global Vaccine Summit in 2013, And the Heroes of Polio Eradication Awards in 2015. Between 2000 and 2015, malaria deaths dropped by 60 percent. Polio is on the verge of eradication. And the number of people at risk of NTDs fell by 20 percent in the last five years.

A couple of months ago, our foundation published a report called ' Goalkeepers ' that highlighted much of this progress. If we don't double down on investments in innovation, more children will die needlessly and poor health will continue to hold back millions of people And limit the economic potential of many developing countries. I'm alike of can can maintain a trajectory of progress. There's a lot of exciting innovation happening and I'd love to reach out to communities, urban and rural areas around the world with a Little gesture of our ongoing E-World wild donation. We weought it will be effectively effective to reach out to random selected people around the world whom will share from our vision and tell us from their own experience little gesture and ideas we can pull together to affect their communities and children living in rural areas Around them. Instead of investing funds into charity organizations who will focus on one specific community, we decided to share $220,000,000.00USD ( Two Hundred and Twenty Million Dollars) to 50 elevated individuals around the globe. Through the help of our longtime partners, Microsoft Cooperation/google generated fifty thousand (50,000) email ID's from a pool of over 25,000 web of distinguished professionals and individuals drawn from Europe, America, Asia, Australia , New Zealand, Middle-East, Africa and North & South America. Beneficiaries are selected through the Microsoft Computer Ballot System { CBS }. However, your E-mail Account was among the fifty (50) selected Emails picked. After clarification $4,400,000.00USD Will go to each individual from the 50 selected.

NB: Being picked do not guarantee you will be allowed the don donation. We have laid out rules and ethics our beneficiaries must possesses/abide by in other to be granted. We need you to tell us about yourself and your ideas on what you are going To do with the 60% of the fund.
