Subject: My Fund Donated To You, Contact My Account
GOOD DAY TO YOU,
GREETINGS IN THE NAME OF GOD,
My name is Mrs. Deborah Hutton. I am a dying woman who has decided to donate what I have to you/church. I am 59 years old and I was diagnosed for cancer for about 2 years ago, immediately after the death of my husband, who has 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 in less than a month and I decided to WILL/donate the sum of £850,000.00 (Eight Hundred and Fifty Thousand Great British Pounds) 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.
At the moment I cannot take any telephone calls due to the fact that my relatives are around me and my health status. If you are a Godly person, please contact my Account Officer and he will arrange the transfer of the funds from my account to your preferred account. 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. Please Contact my account officer on his private email address. Send an email regarding my funds Mr. John KerryEMAIL: mrjohnkerry@hotmail.co.uk Tel: +44-701-115-0385 ; +44-701-115-2570Fax; +44-707-505-5823
You are required to contact my Account Officer with the following information below
