PEACE BE WITH YOU,
Receiving this message might sound as a surprise to you, please do accept it as a blessing from God made possible through a man with a good and sincere heart towards the poor orphans. Through
these projects millions will be positively touched as with God nothing is impossible. I have this strong desire to help the poor orphans suffering each day, but this dream cannot be realized as
a result of my health, which does not improve, hence I do not know whether I will survive having undergone different surgical operations, which has kept me hospitalized. Right now, life gives
me no choice, but to answer the call (death); my prayers each day is to have a place in Heaven. I am suffering from a long term Coronary artery disease. Above all, I do not have a child as a
result of my sterility.
The only help I need from you at this point is to be in constant prayers with me as I believe you have an open heart towards the poor orphans and do believe in GOD. I would be so much happy to
see that my funds $500,000:00 (Five hundred thousand united states dollars) are properly used to help the less privileged before leaving this world as this will be a great relieve for me and my soul. This is a huge responsibility, but I pray that God gives you the strength to handle it. You will also be highly re-compensated.
Once I get your reply, I will put you in contact with the institution in charge of the transaction in order to start all necessary procedures so as to enable you to have possession of my
funds as soon as possible before my next surgical operations.
I am looking forward to read from you.
Thanks in anticipation.
