My Lordship,

Calvary Greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,I am former Mrs Rosemary Abdulsalam , now Mrs Rosemary Daniels, a widow to Late Emire Kabila Abdulsalam I am 72years old, I am now a new Christian convert, suffering from long time cancer of the breast.

From all indications, my condition is really deteriorating and is quite obvious that I may not live more than six months as the doctors has advised, because the cancer stage has gotten to a very severe stage. My late husband and our only son was killed during a muslim fundamentalist uprising.My late husband was very wealthy and after his death, I inherited all his business and wealth. Going by the advice of my personal physician that I may not live for more than six months,I have decided to give most part of our wealth 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 relocate to Abidjan(COTDE'IVOIRE), where I live presently. I saw in the internet your ministry details. I am willing to donate the sum of $1,000,000.00.00 (One Million US Dollars ) to your Ministry to help in the development of evangelism and also as aide for the less privileged within your reach. Please note that, this fund is ready, as i have notified my bank about the donation sum withdrawal and my lawyer will assist in filling an immediate application for the transfer of the money in the name of you/ your ministry.

Lastly, I want you/your ministry to be praying for me as regards to my entire life and my health because I have to come and 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.

Most importantly is that you have to contact my attorney immediately to resume the process of transfer of the funds. His email contact is; (richmondgraham2480rc@yahoo.com) His name is Barrister Richmond Graham, of Richchambers & Co, Legal Practitioners and Advocates.

May the Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the sweet fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you.

Yours in Christ,

MRS ROSEMARY DANIELS.

Who can refuse a $1m donation? I decide to be minister of the church for the time being, and write to the lawyer:
