Dear beloved, Greetings to you! I am Mrs. Christy Walton, a citizen of the United States of America. I bring to you a proposal worth the sum ($2,085,000000.00 USD) which I intend to use for a humanitarian project. I am happy to know you, I have never doubted my instinct as it has never failed me, even as it has directed me to you at this point in time so do not be afraid. I saw your e-mail contact at the department of commerce and foreign trade. I am writing this mail to you with heavy sorrow in my heart, it&s painful to let you know that I have been suffering from esophageal cancer and a rare heart disease for the past 6 years and just a few weeks ago my Doctor told me that I won&t survive the illness. I am contacting you because I don&t have any other option but to open up to you about my project at hand. Please get back to me by providing me with your personal information so I can provide you with further details. Please treat this information as strictly confidential. I await your response. God bless you. Mrs. Christy Walton prueba@diegoborrovich.com
