DEAR Beloved,
My name is Mrs.ANNA WILLIAM I am a dying woman who have decided to donate what I have to you/ church. I am 59 years old and I was diagnosed for cancer about 2 years ago,immediately after the death of my husband,who had left me everything he worked for.I have been touched by God to donate from what I have inherited from my late husband to you for the good work of God,rather than allow my relatives to use my husband hard earned funds ungodly.
Please pray, that the good Lord forgive me my sins. I have asked God to forgive me and i believe he has because He is a merciful God.I will be going in for an operation in less than four hours.I decided to WILL/donate the sum of $9,500,000(Nine Million Five hundred thousand Dollars) to you for the good work of the lord, and also to help the motherless and less privilege and also for the assistance of the widows according to (JAMES 1:27). At the moment I cannot take any telephone calls right now due to the fact that my relatives are around me and my health status. I have adjusted my WILL and my lawyer is aware i have changed my will and you and my lawyer will arrange the transfer of the funds the Security Company.
I wish you all the best and may the Good Lord bless you abundantly, and please use the funds well and always extend the Good work to others. Contact my lawyer with this specified email: barr_t__onome@fastermail.com ,with this subject (Mrs.A.W.Will) and tell him that I have WILLED ($9,500,000.00) to you the above funds and i have also notified him that I am WILLING that amount to you for a specific and Good work. I know I don't know you but I have been directed to do this. Thanks and God bless.
NB: I will appreciate your utmost confidentiality in this matter until the task is accomplished as I don't want anything that will Jeopardize my last wish.I have instructed my Lawyer to process all legal documents and
send them to you as my Beneficiary.Remained blessed in thy Lord,
Truly Yours,
Mrs.ANNA WILLIAM
