Subject: Calvary Greetings.
Beloved In Christ,
Calvary greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. I am Mrs joy
bine;from Solomon Island. I am married to Mr. Lobi bine who worked
with Solomon Island embassy in Ivory Coast for Nine years before he
died in the year 2002.We were married for eleven years without a child.
He died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days.Now a
widow to Late Lobi bine, I am 58 years old, I am now a new Christian
convert, suffering from long time cancer of the breast.From all
indications, my condition is serious and is quite obvious that I may
not live more than four months, because the cancer stage has gotten
to a very severe state and my doctor has told me this.My late husband
was very wealthy and after his death,I inherited all his business and
wealth.As my doctor told me that I may not live for more than four
months,I am so scared about this. So, I now decided to divide part of
the inherited wealth, by contributing to the development of evangelism
in part of the world.
I want an orgarnisation or a reliable person that will use this fund
for orphanages,widows, propagating the service of HUMANITY and to
endeavor that the less privilleged homes is maintained.I took this
decision because I don't have any child that will inherit this money
after my death. I selected your ministry after visiting the website
for this purpose and prayed over it,
I am willing to donate the sum of US$5.000,000.00(Five Million USD)to
your Ministry for the development of evangelism and also as aids for
the less privileged around you.Please note that, this fund is laying
with a SECURITY COMPANY Here In Abidjan Cote d Ivoire. and my personal
doctor will help me to file an immediate application for the transfer
of the money in your name or the name of your ministry because he is
the only one i have left that i trust him so much and i believe he
will always do my wish. Please, do not reply me if you have the
intention of using this fund for personal use.Lastly, I want your
ministry to keep praying for me as regarding my health because I have
come to find out since my spiritual birth recently
that wealth acquisition without Jesus Christ in one's life is vanity
upon vanity.If you have to die says the Lord,keep fit and I will give
you the crown of life.Please assure me that you will act accordingly
as I Stated herein.May the Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of
God, and the sweet fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you now and
forever more.
I await your urgent reply.
Mrs. Joy Bine.
