DEAR Sir,
Greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, I am former Mrs.Odera
Chimaco, now CHRISTIANA SETIA AFTER BAPTISIM a widow to Late Sheik
Mohammed Setia, I am 74years old, I am now a new Christian convert,
suffering from long time cancer of the breast. From all indications my
ondition is really deteriorating and it's quite obvious that I won't
live more than six months according to my doctors.
This is because the cancer stage has gotten to a very bad stage. My
late husband was killed during the US raid against terrorism in Afghanistan,
andn during the period of our marriage we couldn't produce any child. My
late husband was very wealthy and after his death, I inherited all his
business
and wealth. The doctor has advised me that I may not live for more than
six
months,so I now decided to divide part of this wealth, to contribute to
the
development of the church in Africa, America, Asia and Europe.
I selected you after visiting the website and I prayed over it, I am
willing to donate the sum of $10.000,000.00 Million Us Dollars to you
for the less privileged. Please I want you to note that, this fund is lying
in a Security Company and upon my instuction, my Attorney, who presenlty
is in Europe, will file in an application for the release of the money in
your name.
For your interest in doing this corporal work of mercy, before you distribute this money, you will take 15% of the money. Lastly, I honestly pray that this money when released will be used for the said purpose,because I have come to find out that wealth acquisition without Christ is vanity upon! ! vanity. May the Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love
of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you and your family.
I await your urgent reply.
Yours in Christ.
MRS SETIA.
