Subject: my vision for the poor
My dear,
I have to write you this few words, as i presently do not have a choice but to be a blessing to you and to the poor in other countries as i have always wished.
It's with tears and pains that I write this mail from my sick bed in the hospital. I believe you have never met such a condition before.
Am sorry to bother you with my pains and vision for the poor. But i can't keep quiet because i have a strong feelings am going to die soon through this cancer diseases as indicated by my doctor three days ago.
I have been a widow since the past two years, but before my husband died we both had a vision for the poor to be a blessing to them.
After my husband's death, i tried to fulfill this vision we had together but it did not work out well as i wished because i have tried several times giving out money to people, family members and organization for the well being of the poor here and in other countries but i found out that they never used it for the poor as i planned, rather they end up using it for their own personal use.
This has caused me great pains in my heart and health.I don't know if i can TRUST you as i have been praying over this issue for the past one month, to entrust this huge amount of money or funds in your hands for the welfare of the poor and other rightful charity homes which you know.
But if for any reason you find my mail offensive, you can ignore it and please accept my apology.
If you assure me that you can be TRUSTED in this matter, that you will not act like the other people and organization whom i gave money and failed, then i will instruct the bank where this funds has been lodged by my late husband, to effect wire transfer of the funds to you as my relative in other to carry out this great vision on my behalf.
I hope you wont disappoint me now and even after my death concerning this vision am handing over to you?
Kindly indicate your interest to my mail, to enable me instruct my bank to effect wire transfer of this funds to you, to enable you start this project.
Have in mind that the amount am transferring to you is USD $1.7 Million United States Dollars only.
Once more, i want you to assure me that you can handle this vision which am entrusting in your hands, as soon as this funds is been transferred to you, so that when I die my soul will rest in peace.
Have a nice day as i look forward to hear from you soonest.
Yours faithfully,
MRS. FLORENCE WILSON.
