Beloved In Christ,
Calvary greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,
I am Mrs Roseline Brown, a widow to Late Douglas Brown,
I am 70years old, I am now a new Christian convert,
suffering from long time cancer of the breast.From all
indications, my condition is serious and according to
my doctor it is quite obvious that I may not survive
the sickness, although as a Christian believe God and I
know that I will not die, I will live to declare the
glory of God. My late husband and my only son were
killed during the Ogoni Crisis some years back and I am
presently leaving with some domestic staffers, Our Lord
Jesus Christ is my comforter.
I have the sum of $15,000,000.(Fifteen Million US
Dollars)The fund is in cash, packaged in consignments
deposited with a Security Company for safety and
security reasons Presently all the documents concerning
the consignments are with my lawyer. Now that my
sickness has gone to this stage, I am scared i might
die any time therefore wish that the fund be used to
the glory of God .This money is the Proceed from the
sale of properties and shares and physical cash i
inherited from my late husband. I have prayed and I
told God to direct me to an honest Christian who will
receive this fund and utilize it for things that will
glorify the name of God.
After my prayers,I searched the Christian sites in the
internet, I found your email address and I decided to
contact you. Please if you are honest faithful enough
to use this fund strictly for the work of God, please
send to ! me your full names and address of your
ministry to enable me give it to my lawyer for
immediate arrangement with the security company on how
the consignments that contained the fund will be
delivered to you.
Any delay in your Reply will give me room in sourcing
for a church or Christian individual for this same
purpose. Please
Assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated
Herein.
I look towards hearing from you.
Remain blessed in the name of the Lord.

MRS ROSELINE BROWN.
