My Beloved,
May God's undeserved kindness be upon you, AMEN.
Please however strange or surprising this contact might seem to you as we have not meet personally or had any dealings in the past, I humbly ask that you take due consideration of its importance and immense benefit. However, this is not mandatory nor will I in any manner compel you to honour against your will.
I am Mrs. Clarence Digan , a South African citizen; I am a 64 year old barren woman. I am a new Christian convert, recently I was diagnosed with cancer of the liver which totally injured all my body and refused all forms of medication. According to my doctors report, my condition is very critical that I might not survive.
Please I am contacting you to seek your good assistance and to let you know that I have decided to set up a foundation for charitable work in your country through you with this amount $7,600,000.00 (Seven Million Six hundred thousand US Dollars) which I inherited from my late husband. The fund is deposited in a prime bank here in Abidjan, Ivory Coast and the legals covering the fund at the bank which the issued to my late husband at the very date the fund was lodged with the bank is intact with me.
I have prayed concerning this donation for Gods guidance, and if in your heart you genuinely and faithfully desire to use this fund for the propagation of God's work in any form whether for orphanage home, schools, supporting destitute children and women, Church planting, evangelism or whatever you may have in mind that will be to the glory of God, I will like you to pray concerning this divine assignment and get in touch with me immediately through email for further directives on how you will get in touch with the bank for the transfer of the fund to your account abroad.
I know quite well that this assignment will disengage you from your personal activities; therefore I have mapped out 20% of the total sum for you as your commission for the assignment, while 80% will be used for charitable works.
Thank you in advance for your consideration and I hope to hear from you as soon as possible,
Best Regards,
Mrs. Clarence Digan.
