Dear Friend,

I am Elena Boris from Sofia, Bulgaria, married to Late Engineer
Boris who worked with MULTINATIONAL OIL COMPANY EXXON AS A
DRILLING RIG SUPPLIER in Kuwait for 19 years before he died on the
22nd August 2009. We were married for twenty four years without a
child. He died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days.
Before his death, he has the sum of USD 10,142,728.00 Dollars
with a courier company in india and this fund is presently with the courier awaiting my
disbursement as beneficiary and next of kin to the funds. Recently, my
Doctor told me that I would not last for the next Eight months due to
cancer problem. Having known my condition I decided to donate this
fund to a church, organization or good person that will utilize this
money in good faith.

l took this decision because I don't have any child that will inherit
this money. I kept this deposit secret till date; this is why I am
taking this decision. I don't think I will need any telephone
communication in this regard because of the confidentiality of this
transaction. Upon your reply I shall give you the contact of the courier. I
will also issue a letter of authorization to the courier that will prove
you the present beneficiary of this money. So you are to send me your address, name, country and mobile.

Await your responds and God bless you.
Elena Boris

I received the same msj from above that Mrs. Elena Boris married to the drilling ing and unfortunately I answered and sent my name and address to the sector.

But to help me get a job in the company. After this curiosity killed me and I go looking for the company icc-worldwide that supposedly is the messenger that will give me the money and out of curiosity to the page and see that they did not allow the sending of coins; intrigued me and I wanted to find out more until I see this post. I will stop believing in pregnant birds.
