Subject: Calvary greetings

Beloved In Christ,

Calvary greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, I am Mrs.
Theresa Falama,a widow to Late Augustin Falama, I am 40years old, and a

Christian suffering from long time ancident, which took me to parminet
wheel chair.

From all indications, my condition is serious and according to my doctor

it is quite obvious that I may not survive the sickness, although as a
christain,I believe God and I know that I will not die, I will leave to

declare the glory of God.

My late husband and my only son was killed during the political Crisis
in Cote d?Ivoire and I am presently Leaving alone. Our Lord Jesus Christ

is my comforter. My late husband was very wealthy we have a lot of
properties including Shares and houses.

After the death of my husband, I made up my mind to travel abroad to
leave the rest of my life and continue to do the work of God as a
missionary.I called our lawyer and I instructed him to sell all my
husbands properties and shares to enable me raise some money to conitue

my mission.

The lawyer sold the Shares and some of the properties and I was able
raise the sum of Euros 5.500,000.00(Five million, Five Hundred Thousand

Euros) The fund is in cash,for the safety of the fund till am able to
travel out, I deposited it with a bank for safety.

Presently, all the documents concerning the funds and deposits are with

my lawyer.Now that my sickness has gone to this stage, I am scared and I

want the fund to be used for the work of God all over the world. I have

prayed and I told God to direct me to an honest Christ who will receive

this fund and utilise it for things that will glorify the name of God.
After my prayers and I decided to contact you.

Please if you are interested in using this fund for the work of God,
please send to me your full names and address to enable me give it to my

lawyer for immediate arrangement with the bank on how the fund will be
transferred to you. I await your urgent reply.

Thanks and God bless you.
Mrs Theresa Falama.
