Subject: Calvary greetings in the name of God,
Calvary greetings in the name of God,
I am Lorraine Batty, I am 45 years old; a native of United Kingdom. My late
father was killed by his business associate in 2001,and during the same
period both my son and wife were also murdered in cold blood , I am now
afraid of showing myself to them (Business Associate Including members of my
Family) as all are after my life too, All because after the death of my
father, I inherited all his business and wealth. Currently, I am suffering
from leukemia. From all indications, my condition is really deteriorating
and is quite obvious that I may not live more than six months, because the
cancer stage has gotten to a very Severe stage.
Infact, my personal physician told me that I may not live for more than six
months and I am so scared about this. So, I now decided to divide part of
this wealth,by contributing to the well being of less privileged people and
handicapped in the society of Asian,which is in my place, America, Europe
and African Countries.
This mission, which will no doubt be tasking had made me to recently
relocate from my family house to new place where I live presently due to the
preassure my family members are giving me as they want to share the fund
within themself's which i don't want. I selected you for this Purpose and
prayed over it, I am willing to donate the sum of $11,300,000.00 (Eleven
million three hundred thousand us dollars) to you for the development of the
well being of handicapped in the society and also as aids for the less
privileged ,and i have mapped out $1,300,000.00 (one million three hundred
thousand us dollars) for your own personal use to help me in this work.
Please note that, this fund is currently in Security company in Eroupe and,
therefore my ATTORNEY will file an immediate application for the release of
the money in your name. Please, do not reply me if you have the intention of
using this fund for personal use,than enhancement of the comfort of the
Handicapped. Lastly, I want you/your home to be praying for me as regards my
entire life and my health because I have come to find out since my spiritual
rebirth lately that wealth acquisition without God in one's life is vanity
upon vanity. You can as well contact my attorney on his direct telephone
number for more discusstion regards this transaction.
