Subject: Please get back to me, its very important
Dear Friend,
My name is Mrs.Wemdy King 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 $12milliom(Twelve
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,
Wendy King.
