Subject: RE MY WISH
Dear beloved,
Calvary greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, Iam former
Mrs. Max Joy Kota, now Mrs. Patricia Kota,awidow to Late Max Kota.
Ia m 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
evangelismin
the world.
This mission, which will no doubt be tasking had made me to
recently relocate to Nigeria, Africa 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 MillionUSD) 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
May the Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the
sweet fellowship of the HolySpirit be with you now and forever more.
I await your urgent reply.
Yours in Christ.
PatriciaKota (Mrs.)
