Hello Dearest… My name is Mrs. Eva Bakker; I got your contact details in my search for a reputable person to accept my proposal which content are a bit detailed that is why I first seek your permission before emailing my proposal so that you won&t have it trash when I do. I married to Dr. Hans Bakker, who worked with Netherlands Embassy in the Turkey, for nine years before he died on December 2014, when my late husband was alive he had deposit with a reliable bank in Turkey, and this Bank has written to me to step forward for claims or rather issue a letter of authorization to somebody to receive the fund on my behalf since I cannot come to Istanbul, Turkey, due to my cancer illness here in Scotland where I have been undergoing treatment for cancer, So if you are a trusted person to work with then your urgent response is needed for more details. Yours Sister in the Lord, Mrs. Eva Bakker info@tulip.ocn.ne.jp
