Subject: Compensation From Mrs Marvis Smith
Friend in the Lord,
Please use this money as a compensation for you as as to help the churches and less privileged.
Greetings to you and your family in the name of God. In my search for a reliable and God fearing person and having gotten your contact through prayers and painstaking efforts I have decided to
Compensate you in carrying out my last wishes. My name is Mrs.Marvis Smith. I'm a 65 years old woman and from lONDON UK. I was a merchant and owned two businesses in London and Dubai. I was also married with two children.
My husband and two children died in a car accident six years ago.
Before this happened, my business and concern for making money was all I live for. I never really cared about other values in life. But since the loss of my family, I have found a new desire to assist helpless families.
I have been helping orphans in phanage/motherless homes. I have also donated some money for humanitarian needs in Europe and Africa ,
Namely Sudan, South Africa Cameroon, Brazil, Spain, Austria, Germany and some Asian countries. Only recently I saw on television the colossal loss of properties and livelihood people in Canberra, Australia through fire.
I was moving with great pity and compassion that I decided to make this contribution on assisting people over there, I am sending this compensation amount of US500.000.(Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) to you through
My Pastor In Africa Pastor Ben Morrison to send it to you as soon as you have contacted him.

Presently, I'm in a hospital where I have been undergoing treatment for oesophagi cancer. I have since lost my ability to talk and my doctors have told me that I have only few months to live. It is my last wish to see this Distributed to you as to help victims less previlaged and other charity organization. Because relatives and friends have plundered so much of my wealth since my illness, I cannot live with the agony entrusting this huge responsibility to any of them.
Please, I beg you in the name of God to use this compensation to help yourself and poor onces arround you and distributes it accordingly. Use your judgment to distribute the money .

Mrs Marvis Smith
