Subject: URGENT
My name is Mrs. Jennifer Wilson I am a dying woman who have decided to
donate
what I have to you/ church. I am 59 years old and I was diagnosed for cancer
for about 2 years ago, immediately after the death of my husband, who has
left me everything he worked for.
I have been touched by God to donate from what I have inherited from my late
husband to the you for the good work of God,rather than allow my relatives
to
use my husband hard earned funds ungodly.Please pray,that the good Lord
forgive me my sins.I have asked God to forgive me and i beleive he has
because He is a merciful God. I will be going in for an operation in less
than one hour.
I decided to WILL/donate the sum of $1,500,000 (One million five hundred
thousand dollars) to you for the good work of the lord, and also to help
themotherless and less privilege and also for the assistance of the widows.
At the moment I cannot take any telephone calls right now due to the fact
that my relatives are around me and my health status.I have adjusted my WILL
and my lawyer is aware I have changed my will you and he will arrange the
transfer of the funds from my account to you.
I wish you all the best and may the good Lord bless you abundantly, and
please use the funds well and always extend the good work to others. Contact
my lawyer with this specified email walterbbb@netscape.net and tell him
that I have WILLED ($1,500,000.00) to you and I have also notified him that
I
am WILLING that amount to you for a specific and good work.I know I dont
know
you but I have been directed to do this.Thanks and God bless.
NB: I will appreciate your utmost confidentiality in this matter until the
task is accomplished as I don't want anything that will Jeopardize my last
wish. And Also I will be contacting with you by email as I don't want my
relation or anybody to know because they are always around me.
Regards
Jennifer Wilson
