Subject: Donation From Lady Jenny Peters
Hello Dear
My name is Lady Jenny Peters I am a dying woman who has decided to donate
what I have to you/church. I am 59 years old and I was diagnosed for cancer
for about 2 years ago immediately after the death of my husband
who has left me everything he worked for and because the doctors told me I
will not live longer than some weeks because of my health I decided to
WILL/donate the sum of $2 500 000 two million five hundred thousand
dollars to you for the good work of the lord and also to help the
motherless and
less privilege and also for the assistance of the widows.
I wish you all the best and may the good Lord bless you abundantly and
please use the funds well and always extend the good work to others.
Contact my lawyer/Abogado Sr Pedro Antonio
with this pecified email address:advocatepedro@ozu.es
and tell him that I have WILLED $2 500 000.00 to you and I have also
notified him. I know I don't know you but I have been directed to do this.
Thanks and God
bless.
NB: 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.
From Lady Jenny Peters
