Subject: DEARLY BELOVED;CHARITY PROJECT
Dearly beloved My name is Mrs.Rosemary Uche williams I am a dying woman who has decided to donate what I have to charity through you. You may be wondering why I chose you. But someone has to be chosen. I am 59 years old and was diagnosed for cancer about 2 years ago,after the death of my husband who had left me everything he worked for.I have been touched by the what i see on the television on daily basis hence to donate from what I have inherited from my late husband to charity through you for the good work of humanity,rather than allow my relatives to use my husband's hard earned funds inappropriately. I have asked for forgive for all my sins and I believe hehas,because He is merciful. I will be going in for an operation,and I pray that I survive the operation.I have decided to WILL/Donate the sum of $7.5Million (Seven Million five hundred thousand Dollars)to charity through you for the good work of the humanity , and to help the motherless,less privileged and also for the assistance of the widows.At the moment I cannot take any telephone calls, due to the fact that my relatives are around me and I have been restricted by my doctor from taking telephone calls because I deserve all the rest I can get. Presently,I have informed my consultant about my decision in WILLINGthis fund to charity through you. I wish you all the best and may you be bless you abundantly, and please use the funds well and always extend the good work to others.If you are interested in carrying out this task,i will inform my consultant, so that he can arrange the release of the funds to you. I know i have never met you but my mind tells me to do this,and I hope you act sincerely.I decided that 30% of this money should be taken by you from the total sum upon the success release of this fund and 30% for a project for the less previledge while 30% will be for any lucrative investment for me under your care, because I am now too weak and fragile to do things myself because of my cancer.
I will appreciate your utmost confidentiality in this matter until the task is accomplished,as I don't want anything that will Jeopardize my last wish, due to the fact that I do not want relatives or family members standing in the way of my last wish because i have realise that the source of my illness is as a result of problem i had with my family in the year past.
