Subject: God's will be done.

Dear Beloved,

Godday and greetings to you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, I am former
Mrs Saidat Abiola, now Mrs Elizabeth Abiola,a widow to late Muritala Abiola,I
am 70 years old, I am now a new Christian convert, suffering 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 also died in an autocrash.

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 part of the world.

This mission which will no doubt be tasking had made me to recently relocated
to Nigeria, Africa where I live presently. I selected your ministry after
visiting the website for this purpose and prayed over it, I am willing to
donate the sum of US$6,000,000.00(Six Million USD)to your Ministry 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 the name of your ministry.Please, do not reply me if you have the intention
of using this fund for personal use.

Lastly, I want your ministry to keep praying for me as regarding my health
because I have come to find out since my spiritual birth recently that wealth
acquisition without Jesus Christ in one's life is vanity upon vanity. If
you have to die says the Lord,keep fit andI will give you the crown of life.

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 forevermore. Amen.

I await your reply.

Yours In His Vineyard,
Mrs.Elizabeth Abiola.
No.1 Abiola Close,
Opebi, Ikeja, Lagos-Nigeria
