A CALL TO SERVE!!! ( PLEASE DONT IGNORE THIS )
From: Mrs. Grace Williams.
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 concernwith which I believe you might be of help
and for this reason, I cannot but reach out to someone - a fellow Brethren.
My name as given above is Grace Williams, Liberian and married to Saudi
Arabian Diplomat Edward Harry Williams. I and my husband have been married
for 12 years and has lived and worked around the world as diplomats and
worthy ambassadors of both nationalities, until his death to a ghastly auto
crash in 2003, shortly after his conversion from Muslim to Christianity. We
were a dedicated Christians and decided to serve mankind to the best of our
ability.
Since his death, 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 three months more to live. I was
not 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 husband's internet dozier after fervent
prayers. Before my husband died, he deposited a sum of $7.5 Million (Seven
Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) with a BANK. 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 funds adherently
for these purposes:
1: For the propagation of the gospel
2: For the sick, less-privileged 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.
Please, understand that I am not doing this because of fear of death as I am
certain where my place already is at this point, friends, well wishers, and
my husbands relatives are all clambered around me as I sojourn in my
hospital bed and are unaware of my plight.
When I receive your response, I will advise you on the information that
required to proceed this transaction.
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 a 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 unbelievable
opportunity to make wealth, rather see this as a rare chance to assist the
less privileged in truth and in spirit with a substance.
I await your immediate response.
Thank You and God Bless You richly!
Yours Sincerely
Sister Grace Williams.
