I am sending you this mail in good faith. I am Mrs. ALICIA KOKOUU now undergoing medical treatment for cancer. I was married to late Dr.JAMES KOKOUU who was a contractor with the United Kingdom consulate in Hong Kong for many years. Before his death in 2004, we both had an account with a financial institution where we deposited the sum of Four Million Euros. Recently, my doctor told me that I have few months to live due to cancer problem.Having known my condition; I have decided to nominate you as my beneficiary since the financial company has now written me that the length of time agreed upon to hold my funds have now expired. My desire and purpose is for you to promote humanitarian works. I.e. assisting the less privileged and building orphanage homes in your country and to upset my medical bills. Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated herein. I will give you further details when I hear from you.
