Subject: Hello Dear
PLEASE ENDEAVOUR TO USE IT FOR THE CHILDREN OF GOD.=20
=A0=20
Hello Beloved,=20
=A0=20
Greetings in the Name of our lord Jesus Christ,=20
=A0=20
I write to inform you that I have made a donation of US$2.8 million to supp=
ort your activities in life. I selected you because of your passion for hum=
anity and I prayed over it. I am willing to donate the sum of $2.8 million =
U.S dollars to you and through you for help to the less privileged.=20
=A0=20
I am Mrs. Monica Tama, a widow to late Dr Mike Tama, I am 57 years old and =
I am now a new Christian convert, suffering from long time cancer of the br=
east. From all indications my condition is really deteriorating and it is q=
uite obvious that I will not live more than six months according to my doct=
ors.=20
This is because the cancer stage has gotten to a very bad stage and during =
the period of our marriage we could not produce any child. My late husband =
was very wealthy and after his death, I inherited all his businesses and we=
alth. He died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days. Before =
his death, we were both born again Christians and we lived happily.=20
Since his death, I decided not to re-marry or get a child outside my matrim=
onial home, which the Bible is really against.=20
=A0=20
When my late husband was alive he secured $2.8Million (Two Million and Eigh=
t hundred U.S.Dollars) with a Security Company. Presently, this money is st=
ill with the Security Company in Ghana . Recently, my Doctor told me that f=
rom the entire test conducted on my health, I am not going to last long, es=
pecially, due to my cancer and stroke. But what disturbs me most now is str=
oke.=20
Having known my condition, I decided to donate these funds to churches or C=
hristian individual that will utilize this money the way I am going to inst=
ruct. I want a church or individual that will use this money to fund church=
es, Orphanages and Widows. Also, the propagation of the work of God, buildi=
ng and maintaining the house of God through this money, is very important.=
=20
=A0=20
The Bible made us to understand that blessed is the hand that giveth. I too=
k this decision because I don't have any child that will inherit this money=
and my husband relatives are not Christians. I don?t want my husband's har=
d earned money to be misused by unbelievers, for their own selfish interest=
and in an ungodly manner. I am not afraid of death hence I know where I am=
going. I know that I am going to be in the bosom of the Lord. Exodus 14 VS=
14 says that the lord will fight my case and I shall hold my peace.=20
=A0=20
Please I want you to note that this funds Consignment is lying in a Securit=
y Company and upon my instruction, my attorney will file an application for=
the Transfer of the money in your name.=20
As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of my lawyer, =
he will also give you all information regarding the deposit of this money.=
=20
=A0=20
I want you and your church to always pray for me because God work in myster=
ious ways. My happiness is that I lived a life of a worthy Christian. Who e=
ver that wants to serve the Lord must serve him in truth and spirit. Please=
always be prayerful all through your life.=20
Any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing for a church or Chris=
tian individual for this same purpose. Please assure me that you will act a=
ccordingly as I stated herein.=20
Lastly, I honestly pray that this money when transferred will be used by yo=
u for the said purpose, because I have come to find out that wealth acquisi=
tion without Christ is vanity upon vanity. May the grace of our lord Jesus =
Christ, the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit Be With you a=
nd your family. Please reply to Hoping to hear from you soon.=A0=20
=A0=20
=A0=20
=A0=20
I await your urgent reply.=20
Yours in Christ,=20
Mrs. Monica Tama.=20
