Subject: URGENT RESPONSE
Dear Sir/Madam
My Name is Lucy Williams, a well known business woman.I am 69 years old, I leave in Utah, U.S.A. I am a good merchant, I have industries and companies, with some good stocks in various banks. I have spent all my life, investing in coporate business.All the way I lost my husband and two beautiful kids in a ghastly car accident that took place sometime in November 2003. I must confess that I was a woman very greedy, which caursed my present ordeal. I dont know much and I don't care about people, since I my present experience, is difficult for me to sleep and have rest.
later in the year 2005,February to be precise, I got a letter for medical check up after a brief illness as my personal Doctor can testify that I have a cancer of the lungs, which can easily take off my life soon. I found it uneasy to survive myself now, because a lot of investment which cannot be run and managed by me again. I quickly call up a pastor/prophet to give me positive thinking on this as a solution and he advised me. He ministered to me to share my properties and wealth, to the needy in society such as the motherless baby/orphanages and homeless people that needs money for survival, both students from less previledged homes that need money, business women and men for their investment and for the future raisings. Because of the above reasons therfore, I am writing this letter to people who really need help from me, both student in colleges, high school, to contact me urgently.
so that I can make available preparation on that, especially women of the present day, who are divorced by their husband, and cannot survive in the mist of feeding theirselves. Please contact me and stop weeping, probably let me know what you really need the money for, and if you can still help me to distribute money to the nearest orphanages, motherless homes near your town. Now am so much with God, am now a born again. May the lord bless you, as you reach me, please I wish to remind you, that you should not belongs to scammers or any act of fraudulent things on the internet or try to scam me on this please be honest with me. I will give more information to you as I await your response immediately. Best Regards,
Mrs. Lucy Williams
