Dear friend,
I am Mrs. Josephine Aisha Pillai from India but presently hospitalized in Netherlands. I was married to the Late Engr. Vattapara Sasidharan Pillai who was the Managing Director of S. J. Group Organizations that worked as a contractor with Chevron Texaco in Nigeria for twenty years.We were married for thirty-seven years without a child. He died during one of the riot in the Niger delta region of Nigeria. He was held hostage and slain by the protesting youths of the region. Before his death we were both born again Christians and I decided not to re-marry after he died.

When my late husband was alive he successfully executed a contract for the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) in 2001 but the payment was delayed till 2003 and he died in 2002. One day, I discovered some documents of the contract in one of his files and so, I decided to consult the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) for the payment of his Contract Fund which is $15.5 Million USD (Fifteen Million and Five Hundred Thousand US Dollars) and this money is currently deposited at the Central Bank of Nigeria (www.centbank.org) by Mr. Thomas Smith of Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation. Thus, Mr. Thomas Smith, who paid me a visit at the Hospital, asked me to come over for the clearance of the money or I should write a Letter of Authorization to whomever I chose for the payment.

Presently, I'm with my laptop in the hospital where I have been undergoing a treatment for cancer of the lungs. I have since lost my ability to talk and my doctors have told me that I have only a few months to live. Therefore, it is my last wish to see that this money is invested while the proceeds of the investment, at the end of every year, are distributed to charity organizations.I want a person that is God fearing that will use this money to fund churches, orphanages and widows propagating the word of God and to ensure that the house of God is well maintained. The Bible made us to understand that "blessed is the hand that giveth". I therefore took this decision because I know that there are lots of poor people suffering from different kind of disease and there is nobody to come to their aid. Surely, I know that "with God all things are possible". As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the bank as well as that of Mr. Thomas Smith. I will also issue you a letter of authority that will prove you as the new beneficiary of this fund. You are to help me invest this fund into real estate and stocks. You will be entitled to 10% of every profit you make in a year. Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated herein. Please feel very free to contact me on josephineaisha@yahoo.com. I am looking forward to hearing from you.

Yours In Christ,
Mrs. Josephine Aisha Pillai
