Subject: greetings from mrs dorathy palmer
Greetings from mrs.palmer,
Dear beloved in christ,
My name is Mrs.Dorathy palmer; I am a British citizen; I came across your contact while searching for a reliable person/Organization that I can contact for a project that requires trust. As a matter of fact, I was pleased with the bit of information I gathered about you which disclosed you as a reliable person.
After going through your profile, I was pleased with such information about you and decided to contact you personally for this humanitarian project. Already I have posted this letter to you by means of surface service but the letter returned that is why I am resending it via E-mail. I pray that my decision to contact you will be given a genuine approval considering the facts that we have not seen each other in person for the first time neither have we been in correspondence in the past. I am contacting you without any doubt in my mind of your ability to accomplish this gracious project faithfully for glory of God and welfare of his people. I am 73 year's old and a new Christian convert.
I know that my decision to make this donation through you might seem unbelievable. But I have no regret as I was touched by the spirit of God to use my inheritance to further God's cause. I have no regrets in my decision to make this donation for charitable work since it is the will of God that we will share our reaches with the poor. I inherited the sum of US$9.600, 000.00 (Nine Million Six Hundred Thousand US Dollars) from my late husband (Mr.michael palmer) who was a senior regional custom officer before he died after brief illness. Now I have decided to use the fund for the work of Lord by helping the less privileged. Since I accepted Christ as my Lord and savior it has been my most desire to carry out this charitable work with my inheritance, by setting up a foundation for charitable work . But now I am old, sick and feeble; I cannot carry out this gracious work by myself, because of my old age. Secondly I was diagnosed with a long time deadly cancer of the liver that has utterly injured me and has refused all forms of medications. According to my doctor, he made it known to me that my condition is critical and that I cannot live for a long time from now. But as a Christian, I believe that I shall not die but will live to see the goodness of God and achieve my last wish. Please note that this fund was deposited on the 7th November 2005 in an Escrow account by my late husband and I have prayed concerning this donation for God to provide a reliable and genuine person who will faithfully use this fund for the work of God by distributing to the less privileged.
Please my dear, if you are willing to accomplish this mission faithfully with this fund whether for orphanage home, Missionary school for the destitute, Church for evangelism or whatever you may have in your mind that will be to the glory of God within your country and oversees,
So that I will link you up with my lawyer for the processing of the legal documents for the transfer of the US$9.600, 000.00 (Nine Million Six Hundred Thousand US Dollars) to your personal account before I will travel for my surgery. I want you to pray concerning this divine mission and if you are willing to execute this project faithfully then get back to me for further details and arrangements with my lawyer on how you will receive this donation. Finally it is quite certainly that this assignment will disengage you from some of your personal activities and I have set aside 30% of the fund for you as compensation for the mission, while 70% will be used for the proposed work around the globe. God bless you as you carry out this assignment and as you receive this gift of sacrifice, give and give God all the Glory.
Yours in the Lord, mrs.Dorathy palmer
