From Sister(Mrs).Lydie from Muslim to Christianity.
Somali Democratic Republic

I repose great confidence in you hence my approach to you due to security network placed on my day to day affairs I cannot afford to visit the embassy so that is why I decided to contact you and I hope you will not betray my confidence in you.

I am the above named person Mrs.Lydie jacoby, from Somali Democratic Republic, presently staying in Burkina Faso.I have been working as a human rights activist and a humanitarian coordinator for 15 years before i became sick and very unwell to continue the work that i started with my husband..I`m married to Dr. Jacoby, We were married for 32years with a child of 15years old son.

He died after a brief illness and before his death, we were both born again Christian. Since his death,I decided not to re-marry or get a child outside my matrimonial home.When I was the coordinator of the major human right action group in Capital: Mogadishu Somali Democratic Republic,I deposited the sum of US$14.5M.(Fourteen million,Five hundred thousand U.S.Dollars)in a Bank in Burkina Faso here.Presently,this money is still with the Bank.Recently,my Doctor told me that I would not last for the next Few months due to cancer problem.The one that disturbs me most is my stroke sickness.Having known my condition,I decided to keep this money in the Bank.I want an individual or an organization(Church) that will use this fund for the benefit and education of my son Junior Alexe and charity Home,

The Holy Bible made us to understand that Blessed is the hand that giveth.I took this decision because,of my son Junior Alexe and i am an orphan,I do not wish to leave this money in the bank because bankers might misuse it and it will not be in the best interest of my son who is just 15Years and too young to handle this kind of money. 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 Almighty God.As soon as I receive your reply I shall inform the Bank that you are the beneficiary of the said money.

Furnishing me with the following;(1).Your Full Names and Address.(2).Direct Telephone and Fax numbers.i will also issue you an Application letter that will prove you the present beneficiary of this Fund. I want you and the organization to always pray for me because the Lord is my shepherd. My happiness is that I lived a life of a worthy Christian. Whoever that wants to serve the Lord must serve him in truth and spirit.Please always be prayerful all through your life.Any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing another person for this same purpose. Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated herein.

Hoping to receive your reply through this and Remain blessed in the Lord.
Please respond me through this e-mail adress for security reasons.
Yours sincerly

Mrs.Lydie Jacoby,

trash and child and women abusers.

Jesus is cool (whether he actually existed or not)if you leave out the Catholic and Protestant overlays and magical thinking.

Love your brother (or sister) as yourself. Amen.

How many Christians know that there is zero archaeological evidence of the First Temple??
