Subject: GOD BLESS YOU
How are you?I am Mrs. Rose Johnson, I am 78 years old from U.S.A, and I am suffering from a long time cancer of the Lungs which also affected my brain, from all indication my conditions is really deteriorating. According to my doctors they have advised me that I may not live for the next two months, this is because the cancer stage has gotten to a very bad stage.I was brought up from a motherless babies home, was married to my late husband for twenty years and we lived in London until my husband died in a fatal motor accident in London. Since his death I decided not to re-marry, I sold all my inherited belongings and deposited all the money with a bank in London. Presently, this money is still with the bank and I have not operated the account for long now due to my illness.Presently, I'm with my laptop in Hospital, where I have been under going treatment for cancer of the lungs for over one year. Recently, my doctors told me that I have only a few months to live so I quickly
called up a pastor to give me positive thinking on this solution, He ministered to me to share my wealth to motherless baby/orphanage homes/people that need money for survivor. It is my last wish to see that some percentage (%) is distributed among the charity organizations, the poor and the motherless babies? home where I come from and some percentage (%) is for devoted individual that will utilize this money the way I wish. I took this decision, because my time will soon be up and I do not want the bank to inherit the money if I eventually die.As soon as I receive your reply I will issue you a letter of authority through my attorney which will empower you as the new beneficiary of my fund so far that you will give me assurance that you will do my wish.I shall wait your reply.Mrs. Rose Johnson
