Subject: NEED YOUR URGENT REPLY
My Lordship,
Calvary greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. I am former Mrs
Fatima Aisha Alamin, now Mrs Christiana Alamin, a widow to late Sheik
Mohammed Alamin.
I am 74 years old, I am now a new Christian convert suffering from long time
cancer of the breast and from all indications that my condition is really
deteriorating and is quite obvious that I won't live more than six months
because the cancer stage has gotten to a very bad stage.
My Late husband was killed during the Gulf war and at that period of our
marriage, we could'nt produce any child. My late husband was very wealthy
and after his death, I inherited all his business and wealth. The doctor has
advised me that I may not leave for more than six months so I now decided to
divide part of this wealth and to contribute to the development of the
church in Africa,America,Europe and Asian countries. The mission which will
no doubt be tasking had made me to relocate to Nigeria in Africa where I
leave presently. I selected your church after visiting the website and
prayed over it. I am willing to donate the sum of $10,000,000.00 Million US
Dollars to your Ministry for the development of your Church and also for the
less priviledged. Please note that the fund is lying in a Security Company
in Nigeria,therfore my lawyer will file an application for the transfer of
the money in the name of your Ministry. Lastly, I honestly pray that this
money when transfered to your account, will be used for the said purpose
because I have come to find out that wealth acquisition without Christ 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 Full fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you. Please i
wouldnt be able to speak with you on phone due to my bad stage of health.My
Lawyer will handle all oral discussion. I wait your urgent response.
Yours in Christ.
Christiana Alamin.
