Subject: Donate to the needy
Hello,
My name is Mrs.Felicia Orlean O'brien 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 for about 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
forgiveb me and I believe 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 as follows;
Mr.G.M.

phone;+221 538421.
Call him and tell him that I have WILLED ($1,500,000.00) to you by
quoting my
personal reference number;gm/advocate/Jn/WILL/983452/006 and I have
also notified
him that I am WILLING that amount to you for a specific and good work.
I know
I do not know you but I have been directed to do this. Kindly be
friendly to him so that he will legally back you during your time of
communications.
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,
Mrs.Felicia Orlean O'brien
