Subject: DEAR TRUSTEE
Hello Friend,
How are you today ? I hope you are fine. My name is Mrs.Jane Smith Alex.I
live In London where am writing from. I am a dying woman who had decided to
donate what I have to the charity through you.You may be wondering why I
choose you, But someone has to be chosen because i believe as a child of God
you should serve as the person i must donate this money to you and i know
you must have a good heart.
So I entered into internet searching for a reliable profile that sooth my
heart and someone that can carry out the task without deviation.I am 59
years old and was diagnosed for cancer about 2 years ago,immediately after
the death of my husband, who had left me everything he worked for. I have
been touched by God to donate from what I have inherited from my late
husband to you for the good work of God,rather than allow my Husband
relatives to use my husband's hard earned funds ungodly.
I have asked God to forgive me all my sins and I believe he has, because He
is a merciful God. I will be going in for an operation,and I pray that I
survive the operation.I have decided to will/donate the sum of
US$10,000,000(Ten Million Dollars) my husband to you for the good work of
the God, and to help the motherless,less privileged and also for the
assistance of the widows in your church or organization. At the moment I
cannot take any telephone calls, due to the fact that my Husband and my rich
relatives are around me and I have been restricted by my doctor from taking
telephone calls because I deserve all the rest I can get. All i do is to
secretly send mails to see if I can help people in need with the money in
the bank custody.Presently,I have informed my lawyer about my decision in
willing or donating this fund to you through she sound doubtfully, but I
have made up my mind.
I wish you all the best and may the good God bless you abundantly,and please
use the funds well and always extend the good work to others. Kindly contact
my lawyer through this email address (barr_susanwilliam@myway.com,) so
please if you can help then contact my barrister so that she will tell you
the neccessary arrangement on how to release this money. My lawyer's name is
Barrister Susan William, Whitaker. I know I have never met you but my mind
tells me to do this,and I hope you will act sincerely. You should remove 40%
for the expenses you may incure in the quest to get the money transfer to
you and your assistance if you will love to assist, I am now too weak and
fragile to do things myself because of my cancer.
NB: I will appreciate your utmost confidentiality ( Keep it within you) in
this matter until the task is accomplished,as I don't want anything that
will Jeopardize my last wish, due to the fact that I do not want relatives
or family members standing in the way of my last wish.
Jane Smith Alex(Mrs)
