Dear Beloved,
Is an art of God to come across you on the internet and praying that as God
has directed me to you ,his power will take charge of every assignment i am
giving to you beloved.I have the intention of helping the poor children out
there because i feel for them when i see them on television crying for help.
Is really unfortunate that I indulged myself into a deadly habit that has
destroyed me. I smoked for years out of fun unknown to me that is a deadly
habit. Now i got cancer of the lungs that has destroyed my lungs, my lungs
are now destroyed and will die at anytime from now as my doctor confirmed.
The worst part of
it all is that i don't have a child of my own to continue from where i
stopped in life due to the reckless life i lived. I have no option than to
give out my wealth US$2.2M acquired from my hard toiling to the poor
children. Kindly hurry up to my aid to set the dying children free from
untimely death with my wealth because if i die now and the funds is not
transferred to your able and sincere possession,automatically the
institution where the funds is will claim it for there own use and my
toiling on earth will be in vain.
Linda from Canada.
