Good day,
My name is Mrs. Fatima Zaini, I am a dying woman who had decided to donate what I have to the Charities. I am 50 years old and was diagnosed for cancer about two years ago, immediately after the death of my husband,. I have been touched by God to donate from what I have inherited from my late husband for the good work of God, rather than allow his relatives to use my husband's hard earned funds ungodly.
As I lay on my sick bed, I want you to help me in carrying out my last wish on earth which will be very profitable to you. i want to WILL a total sum of $5.6million USD to you which I want you to distribute part of it to any charity home for me, please for further information contact me ASAP.
Regards,
Mrs.Zaini
