Goodday to you, I am LINDA STEVENS a 72 years old WIDOW from Madrid-Spain, in 0ctober 2002 the Doctor found out that I had Cancer which has led to my degenerating state of mind and body. Ever since then I have devoted my life to helping the poor and contributing immensely to support charitable organisations/foundations for education both within here in Spain and some parts east Europe. I know that my time is drawing near and to be specific I have less than a year to live, but I still cannot relent in the good work that I have been doing since last year. those that have recieved donations from me have really have their lives turned around.this is all i can do for humanity before the end. to sow for the betterment of underprivileged children of the world, the orphans, the mentally retarded, children of war torn countries, children of countries that has been ravaged by natural disasters, and other children that deserve better life
Presently I have in a Security Company here in Europe $10millionUSD which I have decided to donate to help this children get a good life and I believe that this donation will be a continuous thing, as the Lord brings so we must give, because the blessings of the Lord is always abundant. For some reason I have decided to deal with individuals of a particular country instead of using philanthropic organizations who have failed me in the past, by not allowing my donations get to the right people that were meant to receive such donations.
In appreciation of what God has done for me by keeping me alive up till now, it is a thing of joy and of willing heart to sow this money for the children of the world and particularly, the children of your country. I am counting on you to take this work for humanity sake by reaching out to these under privilege children. you can contact Reverend (Dr) keneth bryan with e-mail address keneth_bryan@yahoo.com so that modalities of the donation will be discussed with you.The modalities here involves the way the donated fund will be used for the specified project,but hopefully this to a large extent will be done according to your discreetion Once again I want to say thank you in anticipation for the good lord will always reward any work done to the glory of God. peace be unto you. Please reply this mail immediately to confirm that you received my mail.
Thank you and God bless . May the lord continue to bless you. LINDA STEVENS
