Date: Fri, 23 Jan 2004 01:39:36 -0000 (GMT) Subject: DONATION FOR HUMANITY From: ritafrank2011@humanux.com To: patriot@patriot-paradox.com Calvary greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, I am former Mrs Khadija Salim-ahmed, now Mrs Rita Frank, a widow to Late Sheik Salim-ahmed.I am 72years old, I am now a new Christian convert, suffering from long time cancer of the breast. Fromall indications, my condition is really deteriorating and is quite obvious that I may not live long enough,because the cancer stage has gotten to a very severe stage. My late husband was killed during the Gulf war, and during the period of our marriage we had a son who was also killed in a cold blood during the Gulf war. My late husband was very wealthy and after his death, I inherited all his business and wealth. My personal physician told me that I may not live for long and I am so scared about this. So, I now decided to divide part of this wealth, by contributing to the development of evangelism in Africa, America, Europe and Asian Countries. This mission which will no doubt be tasking had made me to recently relocated to Nigeria, Africa where I live presently. My adopted daughter who have always stood by me helped me to select your church after visiting the website for this purpose and prayed over it, I am willing to donate the sum of USD$3.000,000.00 Million Dollars to your Church/Ministry for the development of evangelism and also as aids for the less privileged around you. Please note that, this fund is lying in a Security Company in Amsterdam The Netherlands, and the company has branches, therefore my lawyer will file an immediate application for the transfer of the money in the name of your ministry.Please, do not reply me if you have the intention of using this fund for personal use other than enhancement of evangelism. Lastly, I want you/your ministry to be praying for me as regards my entire life and my health because I have come to find out since my spiritual birth lately that wealth acquisition without Jesus Christ in one's life is vanity upon vanity.If you have to die says the Lord, keep fit and I will give you the crown of life. Yours in Christ, Mrs. Rita Frank. True Vine Church, Nigeria.
