From: "miss patricia" <mrs_kota@rediffmail.com>
Date: 8 Aug 2006 16:58:23 -0000
Subject: MY WISH
MY Dearly Beloved In Christ,
Calvary greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, I am
former Mrs. Max Joy Kota, now Mrs. Patricia Kota, a widow to Late
Max Kota. I am 70 years old. I am now a new Christian convert,
from long time cancer of the breast, from all indications, my
condition is serious and is quite obvious that I may not live more
than six months, because the cancer stage has gotten to a very
severe state and my doctor has told me this. My late husband was
killed during the Gulf war, and during the period of our marriage
we had a son who was also killed in cold blood during the Gulf
war.
My late husband was very wealthy and after his death, I
inherited all his business and wealth. As my doctor told me that I
may not live for more than six months, I am so scared about this.
So, I now decided to divide part of the inherited wealth, by
contributing to the development of evangelism in the world. This
mission, who will no doubt be tasking had made me to recently
relocate to Nigeria, Africa where I live presently. I selected you
after browsing the Internet for this purpose and prayed over it. I
am willing to donate the sum of US$10,000,000.00 (Ten Million USD)
to you for the development of evangelism and also as aids for the
less privileged around you. Please note that this fund is lying
with a Security Company and my family Lawyer will file an
immediate application form for the transfer of the money in your
name. Please, do not reply me if you have the intention of using
this fund for personal use. Get back to me with the following
informations:
1. Your full Name:
2. Contact Address:
3. Your private tale/Fax phone Number:
4. Your Age:
5. Your Occupation:
6. And Position | Status:
Lastly, I will give you more details about this concernment
when I receive your affirmative response. I want you and your
church to keep praying for me regarding my health because I have
come to find out since my spiritual birth recently that wealth
acquisition without Jesus Christ in one's life 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 sweet fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with
us now and forever more. I await your
Urgent reply.
