Beloved In Christ,
PLEASE ENDEAVOUR TO USE IT FOR GOD.
Calvary greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, I am Evangelist Mary
Kilome, a widow to Late Samwel Kilome. 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 with the Central Bank of Nigeria 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 Mary Kilome.
