Calvary greetings in the name of God,
I am Mark Lafah, I am 39 years old; a native of Cote
d'Ivoire. My late father was killed by his business
associate in 2001,and during the same period both my son
and wife were also murdered in Car crash , I am
now afraid of showing myself to them (Business Associate
Including members of my Family) as all are after my life
too, All because after the death of my father, I inherited
all his business and wealth. Currently, I am suffering from
leukemia. From all indications, my condition is really
deteriorating and is quite obvious that I may not live more
than six months, because the cancer stage has gotten to a
very Severe stage.
Infact, my personal physician told me that I may not live
for more than six months and I am so scared about this. So,
I now decided to divide part of this wealth,by contributing
to the well being of less privileged people and handicapped
in the society of Africa,which is in my place, America,
Europe and Asia Countries.
This mission, which will no doubt be tasking had made me to
recently relocate from my family house to new place where I
live presently due to the preassure my family members are
giving me as they want to share the fund within themself's
which i don't want. I selected you for this Purpose and
prayed over it, I am willing to donate the sum of
$11,300,000.00 (Eleven million three hundred thousand us
dollars) to you for the development of the well being of
handicapped
in the society and also as aids for the less privileged
,and i have mapped out $1,300,000.00 (one million three
hundred thousand us dollars) for your own personal use to
help me in this work.
Please note that, this fund is currently in Security
company in Cote d'Ivoire and, therefore I will file an
immediate application for the release of the money in your
name. Please, do not reply me if you have the intention of
using this fund for personal use,than enhancement of the
comfort of the Handicapped. Lastly, I want you/your home to
be
praying for me as regards my entire life and my health
because I have come to find out since my spiritual rebirth
lately that wealth acquisition without God in one's life is
vanity upon vanity.
If you do not feel comfortable with this transaction, do
not hesitate to discontinue. Thanks for your anticipated
co-operation and my regards to your family.
l await your urgent reply.
Mr. Mark Lafah.
