Subject: Donation From Mrs Peterson
Compliments of the Day!!
I am Mrs. Janet Peterson former staff of Ministry of Tourism presently undergoing medical Treatment for cancer. I am married to Mr. Daniel Peterson who worked with National Petroleum Corporation for nineteen years before he died in the year 2002 during the Ivorian political crisis. We were married for eleven years without children though we were both born again Christians.
Since his death I decided not to re-marry or get a child outside my matrimonial home, which the Bible is against. When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of $3.5Million accumulated from an onshore engineering contract awarded to him during the military regime. Gen.Robert Guei with one commercial Bank.
Presently, the money is still with the Bank unclaimed recently, my Doctor told me that my condition has worsened and it is obvious I would
not survive unless by special grace of God though what disturbs me most is that I am diagnosed to be having spinal abnormality.
For this I decided to donate the fund to a church or better still a God fearing individual that will use it to support orphanage homes, widows and propagating word of God and to ensure that house of God is maintained.The Bible made us to understand that blessed is the hand that giveth.
I took this decision because I don't have children that will inherit this money and my husband's relatives are not Christians and had been maltreating me with the only motive to take away our properties including the funds from me because of my faith and trust in God since his death hence I don't want my husband's hard earned money to be misused by this unbelievers. I therefore request you to accept this proposal and help me to achieve my heart desire.
I am not afraid of death hence I know where I am going. I know that I am going to be in the bosom of the lord one day. If you will be of assistance, I will surely appreciate and thank you for your kindness in giving me this help. Please I prefer you writing me back through this

Janet Peterson.
