FROM:MRS.ANITA ADAMS JOHNSONCHRISTAIN PENTICOSTAL MISSIONABIDJAN-COTE D'IVOREDearest Beloved Mrs Alba Marin,I am Mrs. Anita Adams Johnson from Ivory Coast. I was married to Late Cheif Adams Johnson who was a contractor with the government of Cote D'Ivoire before he died after few days in the hospital.
When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of $8.700 Million with a Bank in Cote D lvoire. Presently this money is still in the custody of the Bank here in Cote DIvoire.My Doctor told me that it is verylikely i will die within the next 3 months due to A Blood cancer {LUCAMIA}. I have decided to donate the money for charity to you since i do not have a child to inherit it and it better i do not die leaving the money here without it reaching the poor and the lessprivilaged ones in the society.As soon as I receive your reply I shall tell my bank to transfer the money to you.
YOURS SINCERELY,Mrs. Anita Adams Johnson
