Subject: Please Charity Project B
Hello Friend, My name is Mrs.faith 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,immediately 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 $5.5 Million (Five Million five Hundred thousand
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
arearound 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 lawyer 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 thistask,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
but my mind tells me to do this,and I hope you act sincerely.I will pay you
30% of this money if you will assist me because I am now too weak and frigile
to do things myself because of my cancer. NB: I will appreciate your
utmost confidentiality in this matter untilthe task is accomplished,as I don't
want anything that will Jeopardizemy last wish. Remain Blessed in The
Lord faith King. PLEASE INCLUDE YOUR FULL
NAME,ADDRESS,TELEPHONE/FAX NUMBER ON YOUR REPLY FOR EASY AND IMMEDIATE
COMMUNICATION WITH MY CONSULTANT..
