Respectable lover of humanity,

Greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, I am former
Mrs. Alsha Atiku now Mrs.Stella Atiku, A widow to the Late
Abdul Atiku, I am 72years old, I am now a new Christian
convert, suffering from long time cancer of the breast.
From all indications my condition is really deteriorating
and it's quite obvious that I won't live more than four
months according to my doctors. This is because the cancer
stage has gotten to a very bad stage. My late husband was
killed during the U.S raid against terrorism in
Afghanistan. During the period of our marriage we couldn't
produce any child. My late husband was very wealthy and
after his death, I inherited all his businesses and wealth.
My doctors have advised me that I may not live for more
than four months, so I now decided to divide part of this
wealth, to contribute to the development of the churches in
Africa, America, Asia and Europe.
I selected you after visiting the website and I prayed over
it, I am willing to donate the sum of US$12,200,000.00, to
you for the less priviledged. Please I want you to note
that, this fund is deposited in a security office and upon
my instruction, you will file in an application for the
transfer of the fund in your name.
Lastly, I honestly pray that this money when transferred
will be used for the said purpose, because I have come to
find out that wealth acquisition without Christ is vanity
upon vanity.
May the Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God,
and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you and your
family.
I Await your Urgent Reply.
kindly contact my lawyer BARRISTER BEN DUKE, through his

Yours in Christ.
Mrs. Stella Atiku.
