Greetings to you in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. My name is Christy Walton and I am a. A US Citizen, I am a widow and a business woman. I was recently diagnosed with esophageal cancer and a rare heart condition that has defied all medical treatment. Expert diagnosis showed I had days to live. In June 2005, I inherited $18.2 billion after my late husband, Mr. John Walton, died in a plane crash. Currently, I am worth $41.7 billion, which makes me the richest woman in the world.

The purpose of this email is to seek a philanthropically minded person who can identify a feasible and guaranteed distribution of my wealth to those in need. I cannot rely on family and nearest relatives because they did not behave responsibly when I entrusted a portion of my wealth to charitable organizations and instead they used the money for their personal needs.

The following is an English translation. Judging from the content, it should be a scam.

To prevent further mistakes, my attorney will serve as a check, monitoring every aspect of the charity. My wishes are with my family fully aware of my attorney, but the 5% of my bank value is ($2,085,000,000.00 USD) no one knows except my attorney.

After receiving this email, please contact me as soon as possible and provide your personal information for more details. Please treat this information as strictly confidential.

I'm waiting for your reply.

God bless you.

Mrs. Christy Walton
