Subject: A CALL TO SERVE PLEASE DO NOT IGNORE !!!
A CALL TO SERVE PLEASE DO NOT IGNORE !!!
From: Faith Mary Jones
Beloved,
Compliments of the day to you ! By this e-mail, I do
sincerely
apologize for my intrusion of your privacy. However, I have
a serious
concern with which I believe you might be of help and for
this reason,
I can not but reach out to someone - a fellow Brethren.
I am Faith Mary Jones, the mother to Gerard St. Germain and
Yvette St. Germain
who both died untimely in an Egypt Air crash of 2003. You
can view this web
site for your perusal and find the names of my children who
also perished in
that ill fated air disaster.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/egyptair/article/0,,196602,00.html
I am from the country of Liberia and married to a South
African diplomat Harry
Jones. I lost my husband to a protracted illness 15 years
ago and I have been
working as an Evangelist till date.We are dedicated
Christians and decided to
serve mankind to the best of our ability. Since the death of
my children
( Gerard St. Germain and Yvette St. Germain),I have lived
with the memories,
fighting effortlessly to lead a normal life but all to no
avail. I suffered
mentally and psychologically and shortly was diagnosed of
Cancer. I lived with
the scourge praying earnestly for divine intervention. Just
a month ago, the
doctor informed me that I have just about a month more to
live. I was shocked.
I accepted the news in good fate.
Brethren, it is in this regard that I write to you, having
sourced your address
from a database in my late children's internet dozier after
fervent prayers.Before
their death, my family had a joint deposited sum of $5.5
Million (Two Million Five
Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) with a Finance
company. I have wholeheartedly
decided to donate the entirety of this fund to any devoted
believer or organization and
to achieve this, I need a devoted Christian individual that
will utilize this fund
adherently for these purposes:
1: For setting up a cancer foundation to fight this scourge
2: For the sick, less-privilledged and destitute
3: For the Widows and the motherless babies e.t.c.
These are the wishes of a dying woman. They are the desires
of my heart, hence my
decision as I do not have a child to take over my
inheritance. All I need from you
is Truthfulness, Honesty and Sincerity assuring me that you
can in all honesty and
obedience utilize the funds for the purpose with which it is
meant.
In any case, a quick response from you will be highly
appreciated as I am already on
a count-down and may not have ample time to finalize the
procedures. Any delay in response
may compel me to source for other measures or perhaps choose
the alternative which I will
not be happy to. Please, do not see this as a strange
possibility or an unbeliveable
opportunity to make wealth, rather see this as a rare chance
to assist
the less priviledged in truth and in spirit with a
substance.
I await your immediate response.
Thank You and Bless You richly!
Yours Sincerely
Faith Mary Jones
