Subject: Dearest One
Dearest One,
My name is Mrs.Rosemary Williams, I was married to Late Cheif
Clement Williams who was a contractor with the government of Cote D'Ivoire before he died after few days in the hospital.
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 two years ago.
When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of (US$4,000.000) Four Million united states dollars with a Bank in Cote D lvoire.
Presently this money is still in the custody of the Bank here in Cote DIvoire.My Doctor told me that it is very likely i will die within the next 3 months due to A Blood cancer (LEUKEMIA)
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 will be going in for an operation,and I pray that I will survive the operation but if i did not survive it don't cry for me only what you will do is to help me do this charity work so that my mind will be at rest even in the death.
I have decided to contact you to help in donating this money for charity since i do not have a child to inherit it and it better i do not die leaving the money here without it reaching the poor and the lessprivilaged ones in the society.
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 a rest for now because of my cancer.
Presently,I have informed my lawyer about my decision in WILLING this fund to charity through you in your country. I wish you all the best and may the good Lord bless you abundantly, and please use this funds well and always extend the good work to others.
If you are interested in carrying out this task,i will inform my Family Lawyer so that he can arrange the release of the funds to you.I know i have never met you before,but my mind tells me to do this,and I hope you will act sincerely becouse, good name is better than millions of dollars.
I will reward you with 30% of this money if you will assist me because I am now too weak and fragile to do things myself because of my cancer.
Note: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.
With Love,
Rosemary Williams
