Subject: Dear Beloved Friend,
Dear Beloved Friend,
Greetings in the name of Lord JESUS CHRIST, I am former Alhaja Fatima
Okeh,now Mrs. Felica Okeh a widow to late Alhaji Sheik Okeh, I am 51 years
old and now a new Christian convert, suffering from long time cancer of the
breast. From all indications my condition is really deteriorating and it s
quite obvious that I may not live long according to my doctors, this is
because the cancer stage has gotten to a very bad stage.
My late husband late Alhaji Sheik Okeh, was killed during the USA raid
against terrorism in Afghanistan. My late husband was very wealthy, who made
his money from the Afghanistan's Government, and hence I inherited all his
business and wealth after his death because during the period of our
marriage we couldn't produce any child. And now the doctor has advised me
that I may not live for more that six months, so I now decide to divide this
wealth in order to contribute to the development of the churches in Africa,
America, Asia and Europe and for humanity in general.
I selected you after visiting the website and I prayed over it, so I am
willing to donate the sum of $10 million US Dollar to you on behalf of your
organization to lend a hand in reaching out to the less privileged and the
development of the gospel of our lord Jesus Christ, since I am very sick to
handle this my dream on my own.
I want you to know that this fund is in presently in Security Company in
Switzerland, where my late husband deposited it. So and upon your reply I
will instruct my attorney Barrister Michael Gill Holonis, who presently is
in West Africa distributing relief materials to victims of bomb blast in
Sierra-Leone, to file in an application of Withdrawal of the consignment to
your favor. Presently I am writing this letter from a Hospital in London
where I have been taken my treatment, which is why I handed over every thing
concerning this Donation to my Attorney, since he has been my family Lawyer
for 18 years now. Meanwhile to process the documents that will be used to
withdrawn this consignment from the Security Company I will need some vita
information about you or on behalf of your organization, so that I will
forward it to my Attorney immediately, so please confirm this items as
below:
1,your full name
2,your mailing address
3,your telephone and fax numbers.
On receipt of this confirmed items I will forward it to my Attorney so that
some necessary changes will be made on the documents to enable you have
claim to the Consignment/Donation.
Lastly, I honestly pray that this Donation when transferred to you, will be
used for the said purpose and properly too, because I have come to find out
that wealth acquisition without Christ is vanity. Please note that until
this Donation is delivered to you, I will strongly insist that this
transaction most be keep a top secret.
May the grace of our lord Jesus Christ, the love of GOD, and the fellowship
of GOD be with you and your family as I wait your gentle and kind response
to this mail.
Expecting to hear from you as soon as possible.
GOD blesses you and your family.
Mrs. Felica Okeh
