Subject: DEAR BELOVED IN CHRIST (Mrs Comfort Kona )
Dear Beloved
My name is Mrs Comfort Kona I am a dying woman who have decided to donate what I have to you. I am 59 years old and I was diagnosed for cancer about 2 years ago, immediately after the death of my husband, who had left me everything he worked for. I have been touched by God to donate from what I have inherited from my late husband to you for the good work of God, rather than allow my relatives to use my husband hard earned funds ungodly. Please pray, that the good Lord forgive me my sins. I have asked God to forgive me and I believe he has because he is a merciful God. I will be going in for an operation few days from now . I decided to WILL/donate the sum of $3,500,000 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 according to (JAMES 1:27). At the moment I cannot take any telephone calls right now due to the fact that my relatives are around me and my health status. I have adjusted my
WILL and my doctor is aware about this my project you and him will arrange for the transfer of the funds to you. 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.
.
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. And Also I will be contacting with you by email as I don't want my relation or anybody to know because they are always around me at the hospital
I AWAIT YOUR URGENT REPLY SOON
Thanksand God bless.
Regards,
Mrs Comfort Kona
