Subject: Dearest Friend,
Dearest Friend,
May the pace of God be with you and i pray for him alone to give you the inspiration to use this donation offer wisely on my behalf.
My name is Mrs Faith Johnson, 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 2 years ago,immediately 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 nappropriately.
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 but if i did not survive it don't cry for me only what you will do is to help me do this charity work so that my mind will be at rest even in the death.
I have decided to WILL/Donate the sum of $4 Million (Four Million Dollars)to charity homes through you for the good work of the lord, and to help the motherless,fatherless privileged and also for the assistance of the widows and beggers. 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 a rest for now because of my cancer.
Presently,I have informed my lawyer about my decision in WILLING this fund to charity through you in your country. I wish you all the best and may the good Lord blesses you abundantly, and please use this funds well and always extend the good work to others.
If you are interested in carrying out this task,i will inform my Family Lawyer so that he can arrange the release of the funds to you.I know i have never met you before,but my mind tells me to do this,and I hope you act sincerely good name is better dan millions of dollars.I will reward you with 25% of this money if you will assist me because I am now too weak and frigile to do things myself because of my cancer.
Note:I will appreciate your utmost confidentiality in this matter until thet ask 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.
with Love,
Mrs Faith Johnson
