Subject: My name is Mrs. Jennifer Wilson...
Hello,
My name is Mrs. Jennifer Wilson 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 2 years ago, immediately after the death of my husband, who has left
me everything he worked for.
I have been touched by God to donate from what I have inherited from my
late husband to the 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 beleive he
has because He is a merciful God. I will be going in for an operation in
less than one hour.
I decided to WILL/donate the sum of $1,500,000 (One 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.
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 you and he will arrange the
transfer of the funds from my account to you.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:
(barrlawrence_adamsjr2005@yahoo.co.uk) and tell him that I have WILLED
($1,500,000.00) to you by quoting my personal reference number
Law/chamber/solicitors/je/ws/WILL/9834520012 and I have also notified
him that I am WILLING that amount to you for a specific and good work.
I know I dont 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. And Also I will be contacting with you by email as I don't want
my relation or anybody to know because they are always around me.
Regards,
Jennifer Wilson
