Subject: KINDLY CONFIRM THE RECEIPT OF THIS MAIL
Dear beloved in Christ, I am Mary Evans from malaysia. I am married to late James Evans of blessed memory who worked with Australian embassy for twelve years before he died in the year 2001. We were married for eleven years without a child; he died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days. Before his death we were both devoted Christians. Since his death I too have been battling with both cancer and fibroid problem. When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of (US$6.5Million ) with a security company firm in Europe. Recently, my doctor told me that I would not last for the next three months due to cancer problem. Though what disturbs me most is my stroke sickness. Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to either a charity organization, devoted Christian individual or God fearing person that will utilize this money the way I am going to give instruction with all sincerity to fund churches, orphanages, widows and also propagating the word of God miracle. Because I don’t have any child that will inherit this money and my husband relatives are not God fearing, for they are into idolatry worship and I don’t want a situation where this money will be used in an unholy manner. Hence the reasons for taking this bold decision. I don’t need any telephone communication in this regard because of my health, and also because of the presence of my husbands relatives around always. I don’t want them to know about this development. As soon as I receive your reply, I shall give you the contact of the Finance Security Company in Europe where the diplomatic consignment was Deposited for safekeeping. I will also issue an order of authority to the security company, authorizing them that the said luggage has been willed to you and a copy of such authorization will be forwarded to you. I want you and the believers / community where you reside to always pray for me. My happiness is that I lived a true devoted life worthy of emulation. Please always be prayerful all through your life. Any delay in your reply will give room in sourcing for another person / organization for this same purpose. You will have 20% out of the total amount for all your time to carry out this dream and to cover whatever expenditures to claim this money. Until I hear from you today unfailingly., my dream will rest squarely on your shoulders. May the Goodlord continue to guide and protect us.Peace of the lord be with you. Mary Evans
