Hi,
My name is MacKenzie Scott Bezos, I am an American novelist and philanthropist, the former wife of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, who later became the founder and CEO of Amazon. I believe strongly in “giving while living”. My philosophy about life is that you should use your wealth to help people and I have decided to secretly give US$7,500,000.00USD to randomly selected individuals worldwide.
On receipt of this email, you should count yourself as the lucky individual. Your email address was chosen online while searching at random.
Kindly get back to me at your earliest convenience, so i know your email address is valid.
