- My dear, How are you?I am sure that you will be surprise to receive my email since I have not met you for the first time. I wanted to do something that I know will be good to God and Humanity.Though there are lots of scams going on the net but I still feel comfortable writing to you. What I am going to let you know now may sound very unbelievable, but I dont care how it sound but that is what I intend doing and I will want to do it through you. Well, My name is Mrs. Mary Pitt. I now live In Cambridgeshire. Let me Take you down to a little about my history. I am a self-employed consultant and a board member of the Nene Housing.I am a dying woman who had decided to donatewhat I have to poor and for the purpose of Charity through you.You may be wondering why I chose you, I entered into Internet searching for a reliable profile that sooth my heart and my Mind tells me you are the right person for what I want to do. And I am doing this on trust because I know I may live or I may not, but I have to leave a legacy behind.I am 59 years old now and was diagnosed for cancer about 2 years ago,briefly after the death of my husband Mr. Alex Pitt, who had left me everything he worked for. I have been touched by God to donate from what I have inherited from my late husband to you, for the good work of God, rather Than allow my Relatives to use my husband's hard earned funds ungodly.I have asked God to forgive me of all my sins and I believe he has,because He is a merciful God. I will be going in for a radioactive Surgery in a week time, and I pray that I survive the operation. I have decided to will/donate the sum of US$3,500,000(Three Million FiveHundred Thousand Dollars) my husband to you for the good work of God,and to help the motherless, less privileged and also for the assistance of the widows in Your Church, and organization. At the moment I cannot take any telephone calls, or reply emails 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 before the surgery.So please dont worry about calling me because incase I lost my life, I have informed my lawyer Barrister Charles Peter, Working with Majestic Chambers in London about my decision in willing this fund to you. I wish you all the best and may the good God bless you abundantly, and please use the funds well and always extend the good work to others.Kindly contact my lawyer through this emailaddress:mail_me_00104@yahoo.com Please if you can help then contact my lawyer. He will tell you the necessary arrangements on how to release this money. Remain Bless. Mrs Mary Pitt
