Read carefully my beloved.
Greeting in the name of our lord Jesus Christ. I am Mrs Gloria Caldwell, a
widow to late Richard Caldwell. I am 58 years old, i am now a new Christian
convert, suffering from long time cancer of the breast, from all indication
my conditions is really deteriorating and It is quite obvious that I won't
live more than six months, according to my doctors, this is because the
cancer stage has gotten to a very bad stage.
My late husband was killed during the war against rebels in cote d'ivoire,
and during the period of our marriage we couldn't produce any child. My late
husband was very wealthy and after his death, I inherited all his business
and wealth. The doctors has advised me that i may not live for more than
six months, so I now decided to divide the part of this wealth, to
contribute to the development of the church in America Asia, and Europe. I
selected you after visiting web site and i prayed over it.
I am willing to donate the sum of $3.2Million U.S dollars, to the less
privileged. Please I want you to note that this fund is lying in a bank in
Abidjan cote d'ivoire.I honestly pray that this money when transferred will
be sure for the said purpose, because I have come to find out that wealth
acquisition without Christ is vanity.
As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the Bank.
And I will also issue you a letter of authority, which will prove that you
are the new beneficiary of my funds. Please assure me that you will act
accordingly as i stated herein. hope to hear from You soonest. May the
grace of our lord Jesus the love of god and the fellowship of god be with
you and your family I await your urgent reply.
Yours in Christ.
Dr.Smith For
Mrs.Gloria Caldwel
