Subject: Dear Friend
Dear Friend,
My name is Mrs. Mary Olga Hoffman 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,
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 me 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,
Mary Olga Hoffman.
PLEASE INCLUDE YOUR FULL NAME,ADDRESS,TELEPHONE/FAX
NUMBER ON YOUR REPLY FOR EASY AND IMMEDIATE
COMMUNICATION WITH MY CONSULTANT...
