Greetings in Good Faith,
My name is Mrs. Agustati Fardiyah Zaini; I am a dying woman who had decided
to donate what I have to the Charities. I am 49 years old and was diagnosed
for cancer about two years ago, immediately after the death of my husband. I
have been touched by God to donate from what I have inherited from my late
husband for the good work of God, rather than allow his relatives to use my
husband's hard earned funds ungodly.
As I lay on my sick bed, I want you to help me in carrying out my last wish
on earth which will be very profitable to you. I want to WILL a total sum of
$5.6million USD to you which I want you to distribute part of it to any
charity home for me, please for further information contact me ASAP.
Regards,
Mrs. A. Fardiyah Zaini
