- Greetings,My name is Rev.Mrs Mabela Sarah, widow to late Mr. Gary Sarah, former owner of petroleum and Gas company in Amsterdam.I am 58years old, suffering from long time cancer of the breast. From all indications my condition is really deteriorating and it's quite obvious that I won't live more than 2 months according to my doctors. This is because the cancer stage has gotten to a very severe stage. I don't want your pity but I need your trust. My late husband died early last yearfrom heart attack, and during the period of our marriage we couldn't produce any child.Mylate husband was very wealthy and after his death, I inherited all his business and wealth My personal physician has informed me that I will not live for more than 2 months,so I have now decided to spread all my wealth to contribute mainly to the development of charity in Africa, America, Asia and Europe .I am sorry if you are embarrassed by my mail. I found your e-mail address in the web directory, and I hav!
e decided to contact you, but if for any reason you find this mail offensive, you can ignore it and please accept my apology. Before my late husband died, he deposited the sum of $7 million dollars (seven million united states dollars) in a Bank some years ago, that's all i have left now, I need you to collect this funds and distribute it yourself to charity so that when I die my soul can rest in peace.The funds will be entirely in your management. I hope God gives you the wisdom to touch very many lives,that is my main concern. 15% of this money will be for your time and effort, while 85% goes to charity.Please I will be expecting your reply mrs.mabelafund01@live.com, Yours In The Lord,Rev.Mrs Mabela Sarah
