Subject: MY WISH
Dearly Beloved In Christ,
Calvary greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, I am former Mrs. Max
Joy Kota, now Mrs. Patricia Kota, a widow to Late Max Kota. 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, who 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 Million USD) 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.
I await your urgent reply.
Yours in Christ.
Patricia Kota (Mrs.)
