Subject: IN HIS LOVE/GET BACK TO ME

Dearly Beloved,

My name is Felicia Hines,My husband died after a protracted illness.My husband and I made a vow touplift the own-trodden and the
less-privileged individuals as he had passion for persons who can not help themselves due to physical disability or financial
predicament.

When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of Ten Million Great Britain Pounds Sterling, which were derived from his vast estates
and investment in capital market with his Financial House in Europe.

Recently, my Doctor told me that I have limited months to live due to the cancerous problems I am suffering from. Though what bothers me
most is the stroke that I have in addition to the cancer.

With this hard reality that has befallen my family, and me I have decided to Give out this fund to you and want you to use this Fund which
comes from my husbands effort to fundthe upkeep of widows, widowers,orphans, destitute, the down-trodden,physically challenged children,
barren-women and persons who prove to be genuinely handicapped financially.

In line with the above, if you know that you will be use of God to administer this fund honestly and wisely , then do urgently contact me
first through this mail and I will furnish with details on how you
will be able to receive the fund.

Your prompt response will be highly appreciated.

Be Blessed.
Your Sister
Mrs Felicia Hines
FELICIA HINES
