Dear Friend in Christ,
I am in need of your assistance, I want to make a donation to the poor and
needy through you. My name is Susan Williams,A 53 year old British citizen,
I live in Nigeria, right now i am in the hospital, have been undergoing
treatment for oesophageal cancer.
I have since lost my ability to talk and my Doctors have told me that I have
only a few months to live. Before I became ill, I kept USd$ 7.5 Million
willed to me by my late husband in a long-term deposit account in a finance
company in Europe.
Now that it is clear that i will not survive this sickness, I have decided
that i must give my wealth to the poor and needy to demonstrate my
humanitarian service to humanity.
I will appreciate Mostly that the fund be donated to motherless
Babies,widows and hurricane victims all over the world.
Kindly reply me through my email.(modaatheresa@sify.com)
Yours sincerely,
Susan Williams
