Subject: Assistance in Donating of my Wealth to Charity
Dear Friend,
My name is Mrs.Millicent Whitegold I am a dying woman who has decided to
donate what I have to charity through you.You may be wondering why I chose
you. But someone has to be chosen. I am 59 years old and was diagnosed for
cancer about two years ago,after the death of my husband who had left me
everything he worked for.I have been touched by the Lord to donate from what
I have inherited from my late husband to charity through you for the good
work of humanity,rather than allow my relatives to use my husband's hard
earned funds inappropriately.
I have asked the Lord to forgive me all my sins and I believe he has,because
He is merciful. 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 $5.5 Million
(Five Million five Hundred thousand Dollars)to charity through you for the
good work of the Lord, and to help the motherless,less privileged and also
for the assistance of the widows.At the moment I cannot take any telephone
calls, due to the fact that my 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.
Presently,I have informed my consultant about my decision in WILLING this
fund to charity through 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.If you are interested in carrying out this task,i will
inform my consultant, so that he can arrange the release of the funds to
you. I know i have never met you but my mind tells me to do this,and I hope
you act sincerely.I decided that 20% of this money should be taken by you
from the total sum upon the success release of this fund, because I am now
too weak and fragile to do things myself because of my cancer.
NB:I sincerely know that a lot has been written about some SCAM coming out
of the world,but I assure you that this will never in any way associated
with that as you will be given the right to verify this directly with the
bank where the fund was deposited.
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,
due to the fact that I do not want relatives or family members standing in
the way of my last wish.
Please, kindly contact me through my direct email address:
milli_whitegold@yahoo.com
Your sincerely,
Millicent Whitegold
PLEASE INCLUDE YOUR FULL NAME,ADDRESS,TELEPHONE/FAX NUMBER ON YOUR REPLY FOR
EASY AND IMMEDIATE COMMUNICATION WITH MY FAMILY ATTORNEY
