Subject: HELP ME.
Dear Friend,
Calvary greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus
Christ, I am former Mrs fatima Ibrahim, now Mrs mary
Ibrahim, a widow to Late Sheik Mohammed Ibrahim, 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 is quite obvious that I may not live more than six
months, because the cancer stage has gotten to a very
severe stage.
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 a cold blood during the Gulf 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 for 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 recenlty relocated to Nigeria, Africa where I
live presently. I selected your church 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 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 Security
Company in Europe and the company has branches,
therefore my 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 other than
enhancement of evangelism.
Lastly, I want you/your ministry to be praying for me
as regards my entire life and my health because I have
come to find out since my spiritual birth lately that
wealth acquisition without Jesus Christ in one's life
is vanity upon vanity. If you have to die says the
keep fit and I 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.
If your are interested do reach my Attorney
Name :mary ibrahim

Thanks for your assistance
Yours in Christ,
Mrs Mary Ibrahim,
Sokoto, Nigeria.
