Subject: Dearly Beloved
Dearly Beloved In Christ,
Calvary greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus
Christ, I am former Mrs.Max rinding Martin,now a widow
to Late Rinding Martin. I am 70 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. This mission,
which will no doubt be tasking had made me to recently
relocate to London 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 USDA) 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 one's life is
vanity upon vanity. If you have to die says the Lord,
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 now and forever more.Reply me on this email
address:janetmat@london.com
I await your urgent reply.
Yours in Christ.
Janet Martin (Mrs.)
