Dearest in Christ,
I am Pastor Powell, I just got your contact on my personal search of the
person i am willing my money to. I was mistakenly injected with the injection
that they used on a HIV AIDS patient, That was how i contacted this strange
illness two years ago. I have willed the sum of $FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND
US DOLLARS to you, That is the only money left in my account now.
Pls contact my lawyer with his email address(barristermadu@mail.ru) his
name is barrister madu, he will help you and also transfer this money to
you immediately. Pls be serrios and make sure that this money is being
transfered to you. cos i have few days to live as the doctor said and
always pray for me as you receive
this email.
God Bless you.
Pastor Powell.
