Respectable lover of humanity,Greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus
Christ, I am former Mrs.Fatima Setia, now Mrs.Grace Williams, A widow to
Late Sheik Mohammed Williams, I am 72years old,I am now a new Christian
convert, suffering from long time cancer of the breast.
>From all indications my condition is really deteriorating and it's quite
obvious that I won't live more than four 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 U.S raid against terrorism in Afghanistan, and
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 four 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 US$20,200,000.00, to you for the less privileged.
Please I want you to note that, this fund is lying in a security company and
upon my instruction, you will file in an application for the transfer of the
money in your name.
Lastly, I honestly pray that this money when transferred 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 would be very happy if you show your immeditate responses to this
transaction.
kindly contact my lawyer Barrister John Roberts, through his Email

Yours in Christ.
Mrs. Grace Williams c/o Barrister John Roberts.
