Subject: From: Mrs. Mabel Robert Please Respond in Good Faith
Dearest in Christ
Greetings from Mrs. Mabel Robert beloved, I know that this letter will come to you as a surprise, but I crave your indulgent to read this. I am Mrs. Mabel Robert, a widow from United Kingdom, legally married to late Mr. Jeff Robert, a citizen of the United State of American, who was murdered during the U.S raid against terrorism in Afghanistan, and during the period of our marriage we could not produce any child. My late husband was very wealthy and after his death, I inherited all his business and wealth but i am 62,now a new Christian convert, suffering from long time cancer of the breast, from all indications, the conditions of my health is really deteriorating and it is quite obvious that I won't live more than two months, according to my doctors, this is because the cancer stage has gotten to a very terrible stage .
After praying to our father in heaven, I was lead by the spirit to look up on someone who will be willing and capable to handling this task, hence, I opened my laptop and browsed through the chamber of commerce where I found you and selected you after visiting web site and I prayed over it. I am willing to donate the sum of 9.300.000.00 USD to the less privileged. However, the said fund is deposited with Firstinland Bank in Nigeria. I am offering you 30% of the fund to you for your kind assistant, while 70% of the fund will be used in all sincerity to fund philanthropic organization, orphanages.
Please note that as soon as I receive a response from you I will forward to you the contact details of my attorney, who will carry you along legally with all documentation that will authenticate your claim legally with the bank and also to prove to them that you have been mandated by me to receive the fund on my behalf as my new bonafide beneficiary of my fund deposited with them. Also note that the original certificate of deposit will be forwarded to you by my attorney as soon as you are in contact with him.
I honestly pray that this money when transferred will be used for the said purpose, because I realized that wealth acquisition without Christ is vanity. May the grace of our Lord Jesus the love of God and the fellowship of God is with you and your family.
I await your Prompt Response
Yours in Christ.
Mrs. Mabel Robert
