Subject: PLEASE YOUR HELP IS NEEDED
Calvary greetings in
the name of God,
I am Lorraine Batty, I am 45 years old; a native of United Kingdom. My late father was killed by his business associate in 2003, and during the same period both my son and wife were also murdered in cold blood, 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 African, which is in my place, America, Europe and Asian 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 pressure my family members are giving me as they want to share the fund within them self’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 South African and, therefore my ATTORNEY 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. You can as well contact my attorney on his direct telephone number for more discussion regards this transaction.
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. Lorraine Batty.
