Subject: Free Donation From Mrs Maria

My Lordship,

Calvary greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, I am former Mrs
Hassanato Beshir, now Mrs Maria Beshir, a widow to Late Sheik Mohammed
Beshir,I am 66years 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 is quite obvious that I may not live more than six months,because
the cancer has gotten to a very severe stage.

My late husband was killed in this Sudan rebel civil war, and during the
period of our marriage we had a son who was also killed in a cold blood
in this war. My late husband was very wealthy and after his death, I
inherited all his business and wealth.

My personal physician told me that I may not live more than six months and
I am so scared about this. So, I now decided to divide part of this wealth,
by contributing to the development of evangelism in Africa,America,Europe
and Asian Countries.

This mission which will no doubt be tasking had made me to recently relocated
to republic of cote d' ivoir where I live presently. I selected your address
after visiting the website for this purpose and prayed over it, I am willing
to donate the sum of $10.000,000.00 Million US Dollars to your organization,
church/Ministry for the development of evangelism and also as aids for
the less privileged around you. Please note that,this fund is lying in a
local bank in Republic of cote d'ivoire abidjan and the company has branches.

Please, do not reply me if you have the intention of using this fund for
personal use other than enhancement of evangelism. Lastly, I want your
organization/ministry to be praying for me as regards my entire life and
my health because I have come to find out since my spiritual birth11:16
04/03/05 lately that wealth acquisition without Jesus Christ in one's life
is vanity upon vanity.

May the Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the sweet
fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you.

Peace of the lord be upon you .

Mrs Maria Beshir
