Dearly Beloved In Christ,

Calvary greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,

I am former Mrs.Max rondoni Martin, now Mrs. Rose Martin, a widow to Late
Rondoni Martin. I am 55 years old. I am now a new Christian convert, from
long time cancer of the breast,From all indications, my condition is serious
and is quite obvious that I may not live more than six months, because the
cancer stage has gotten to a very severe state and my doctor has told me
this.

My late husband was killed during the Gulf war, and during the period of
our marriage we had a son who was also killed in cold blood during the Gulf
war.

My late husband was very wealthy and after his death, I inherited all his
business and wealth. As my doctor told me that I may not live for more than
six months, I am so scared about this. So, I now decided to divide part
of the inherited wealth, by contributing to the development of evangelism
in the world and also to those who lost there loved ones in the tsunami
disaster. This mission, which will no doubt be tasking had made me to recently
relocate to Nigeria, Africa where I live presently.

I selected you after browsing the Internet for this purpose and prayed over
it. I am willing to donate the sum of US$10,000,000.00 (Ten Million USD)
to you for the development of evangelism and also as aids for the less privileged
around you.

Please note that this fund is lying with a Security Company and my family
Lawyer will file an immediate application for the transfer of the money
in your name. Please, do not reply me if you have the intention of using
this fund for personal use.

Lastly, I want you and your church to keep praying for me regarding my
health because I have come to find out since my spiritual birth recently
that wealth acquisition without Jesus Christ in ones life is vanity upon
vanity.
If you have to die says the Lord, keep fit and I will give you the crown
of life.
For further information you can get in touch to my family lawyer via-email;(barradesmond@yahoo.com
)

May the Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the sweet
fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you now and forever more.
I await your urgent reply.

Yours in Christ.
Rose Martin (Mrs.)
32, M.K.O.Abiola Crescent,
Victoria Garden City (V.G.C)
Victoria Island, Lagos, Nigeria
