Dear Beloved In Christ,

Blessed is he that considerate the poor the lord will deliver him in
the time of trouble and he shall be blessed upon the earth(Ps.
41:1-2)greetings in thy name of our Lord Jesus Christ. I am Mrs Joy Williams,a
widow to Late Mr philip Williams. Am 69 years old and a new Christian
convert,suffering from long time cancer of the blood (Leukaemia)
According to my doctor, my condition is critical and I might not survive.
Although as a christian,I believe God and I know that I will not die,but
will live to declare the glory of God. My late husband and my only son
were killed during the Bomb blass in London year back and Our Lord
Jesus Christ is my only comforter.

I have the sum of Twenty million,five hundred thousand US Dollars
($20.5m) The fund is presently deposited with a financial company for
security reasons and all the documents concerning the fund are in the
custody of my lawyer.

I inherited the money from my late husband who was an industrialist
and international businessman. I have prayed concerning this donation for
God's guidance and if in your heart you geniunely and faithfully desire
to use this fund for the propagation of God's work in any form whether
for charity,ministry, evangelical work or otherwise in relation to
God's work,do get in touch with me for further arrangements with my lawyer
on how you will receive my donation.

God bless you once again and as you receive,give God all the Glory.

Regards and God bless you,

Thanks
Mrs Joy Williams
