Subject: Dear Love One
Dear Love One,
My name is Madam Marisa Mayor.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 was diagnosed for cancer about
2 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 $15milliom(Fifteen Million 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 mem to do this,and I hope you act
sincerely.I decided that 35% of this money should
be taken by you from the total sum upon the sucess
release of this fund, because I am now too weak
and frigile 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 the finance company 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.
Your sincerely,
Marisa Mayor
PLEASE INCLUDE YOUR FULL NAME,ADDRESS,TELEPHONE/FAX
NUMBER ON YOUR REPLY FOR EASY AND IMMEDIATE
COMMUNICATION WITH MY CONSULTANT..
