Received the following in my spam folder, both on the same day! Slight change on the usual ‘there’s 20 million dollars in the bank’ emails as they say that they are from Christians and are looking for a church to benefit.
Dearest In The Lord
I am Mrs Magdaline wilson from Iran I married to late Dr Daniel wilson who worked with Iran embassy in Ivory Coast for nine years before he died in the year
2008. We were married for eleven years with out a child. He died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days.
Before his death we were both born again Christian. Since his death I decided not to remarry or get a child outside my matrimonial home which the Bible is against. When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of ($3.7Million US) THREE MILLION SEVEN HUNDRED THOUSAND US DOLLARS in one of the finance company here in Abidjan.
Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not last for the next Eight months due to cancer problem. Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to a church that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct herein. I want a church or Individual that will use this fund for orphanages, widows, propagating the word of God and to endeavor the house of God is maintained.
The Bible made us to understand that “Blessed is the hand that giveth”. I took this decision because I don’t have any child that will inherit this money and my husband relatives are not Christians and I don’t want my husband’s efforts to be used by unbelievers.
I don’t want a situation where this money will be used in an ungodly way. This is why I am taking this decision. 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. I don’t need any telephone communication in this regard because of my health hence the presence of my husband’s relatives around me always. I don’t want them to know about this development.
With God all things are possible. As soon as I receive your reply I will give you the contact of the finance company. I will also issue you an authorisation letter that will prove you the present beneficiary of this fund. I want you and the church to always pray for me because the lord is my shephard. My happiness is that I lived a life of a worthy Christian. Whoever that Wants to serve the Lord must serve him in spirit and Truth.
Please always continue your prayers upon me. any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing another church for this same purpose. Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I Stated herein. Hoping to receive your reply.
Remain blessed in the Lord.
Yours in Christ,
Mrs Magdaline wilson
Then I had this one!
Dear,
I am Mrs,koffi.Angela from Israel a widow to late Mr Steven Tagor I am 68 years old, I am a Christian , suffering from long time cancer of the breast, from all indication my conditions is really deteriorating and it is quite obvious that I wouldn’t live more than three months, according to my doctors, and in all indication regards to medical analysis, this is because the cancer stage has gotten to a very bad stage that no hope for me to be a living person again,
My late husband was killed during the France raid against terrorism in Ivory Coast, 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 business and wealth. the doctors has advised me that I may not live for more than Four months, so I now decided to divide the part of this wealth, to contribute to the development of the church in America, Africa, Asia and Europe especially create solution to problem of less privileged ones and orphanage homes.
I selected you after visiting the website I prayed over it; I am willing to donate the sum of US$2.5 million dollars, to the less privileged. Please I want you to note the fund is lying in a bank in Ivory Coast and upon my instruction will file in an application for the transfer of the money in your name.
Lastly, I honestly pray that this money when transferred will be used for the said purpose even though I am late then, because I have come to find out that wealth acquisition without Christ is vanity and I made the promise to God that the fund will be use to build his temple. May the grace of our lord Jesus the love of God and the fellowship of God be with you and your family I await urgent reply.
God blesses you.
Mrs koffi.Angela
