Subject: FAITH OF DONATION

SUBJECT: FAITH OF DONATION.
Beloved In Christ,
PLEASE ENDEAVOUR TO USE IT FOR GOD.
Calvary greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, I am Evangelist Gina
Johnson, a widow to Late Sheik Johnson. I am 61 years 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 is quite obvious that I may not live more than six months,
because the cancer stage has gotten to a very severe stage.
My late husband was killed during the Gulf war, and during the period of our
marriage we had a son who was also killed in a cold blood during the Gulf
war. My late husband was
very wealthy and after his death, I inherited all his business and wealth.
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 development of
evangelism in Africa,
America, Europe and Asian Countries.
I selected you after visiting the website for this purpose and prayed over
it, I am willing to donate the sum of $6.000,000.00 Million US Dollars to
the motherless baby
homes, needy, poor, charity homes and widows too. Please note that, this
fund is lying in a
Security company therefore my lawyer will file an immediate application for
the transfer of the money
in the name of your ministry. Please, do not reply me if you have the
intention of using this
fund for personal use other than enhancement of evangelism.
Lastly, I want you to be praying for me as regards my entire life and my
health because I have come to find out since my spiritual birth lately 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. May the Grace of
our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the sweet fellowship of the Holy
Spirit be with you.
I await your urgent reply.
Yours in Christ
Evangelist Gina Johnson
