Subject: Donation For The Work Of God ,From Xandra Pascal (Mrs).
Dearest One,
My name is Madam Xandra Pascal married to late Larent Pascal.I am contacting you to let you know my desire to Donate sum US$:5.500.000 (Five Million Five hundred thousand US Dollars) for charity foundation in your country which I inherited from my late husband .It is my desire to see that this money is invested to any organization of your choice in your country and distributed each year among the charity organizations, motherless baby home, mosques, churches, Schools, supporting destitute aged men and women or whatever you may have in mind that will be to the benefit of the less fortunate.
I took this decision because I was raised from a motherless baby home and presently, I'm hospitalized here in (Abidjan) where I am undergoing treatment for my up coming breast cancer surgery operation. I dont want this fund to be invested in ungodly way.As soon as I receive your response confirming your acceptance to work as i instructed , I will give you all the relevant information that will authorise the release and transfer of the money to you as my duly assigned representative.
Yours Sister,
Xandra Pascal (Mrs)
