Subject: Calvary greetings
Dear in Christ,
Calvary greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. I am Hellen Gill, a member of Day Spring Ministry, basically a Prayer and deliverance Ministry.
During a Prayer and fasting session in my Ministry, I asked our Lord Jesus Christ to give me the opportunity to redeem my life and purify what remains of my wealth, God delivery revealed to me to Invest in His Kingdom through you and your Ministry.
You should immediately contact me via my email address with your telephone and fax numbers to enable me introduce you to the security company for the release of the $2.5million dollars.
Remain blessed.
Sister Hellen
