Subject: Dear Beloved in Christ
Dear Beloved in Christ,
It is by the grace of God that I received Christ,knowing the truth and the
truth have set me free.Having known the truth, I had no choice than to do
what is lawful and right in the sight of God for eternal life and in the
sight of man for witness of God´s mercy and glory upon my life.
I am Mrs Mary Jones of Kuwait. I am married to Dr. Jerry Jones who worked
with Kuwait Embassy in Ivory Coast for nine years before he died in the year
2000.We were married for eleven years without a child. He died after a brief
illness that lasted for only four days.
Before his death we were both born again christians.Since his death I decided
not to re-marry or get a child outside my matrimonial home which the Bible
is against. When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of (Eight
Million six hundred thousand U.S.Dollars)with a finance/security company
in Europe.
Presently, this money is still with the Security Company and the management
just wrote me as the beneficiary to come forward to receive the trunk box
of money or rather issue a letter of authorisation to somebody to receive
it on my behalf if I can not come over.
Presently, I'm with my laptop in a hospital where I have been
undergoing treatment for oesophageal cancer. I have since lost my ability
to talk and my doctors have told me that I have only a few weeks to live.
It is my last wish to see this money distributed to victims of the fire outbreak
in Australia and other charity organizations. Because relatives and friends
have plundered so much of my wealth since my illness, I cannot live with
the agony of entrusting this huge responsibility to any of them. Please,I
beg you in the name of God to help me collect the deposit and the interest
accrued from the company and distribute it accordingly.
I want a person that is God fearing that will use this money to fund churches,orphanages
and widows propagating the word of God and to ensure that the house of God
is maintained. The Bible made us to understand that Blessed is the hand that
giveth.I took this decision because I don't have any child that will inherit
this money and my husband relatives are not Christians and I don't want my
husband's hard earned money to be misused by unbelievers.I don't want a situation
where this money will be used in an ungodly manner.
Hence the reason for taking this bold 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 Lord.
Exodus 14 VS 14 says that the lord will fight my case and I shall hold my
peace.
With God all things are possible. As soon as I receive your reply I shall
give you the contact of the Finance/ Security
Company in Europe. I will also issue you a letter of authority that will
prove you as the new beneficiary of this fund. I want you and the church
to always pray for me because the lord is my shephard.
My happiness is that I lived a life of a worthy
Christian. whoever that wants to serve the Lord must serve him in spirit
and truth. Please always be prayerful all through your life. Any delay in
your reply will give me room in sourcing for another person for this same
purpose.
Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated herein.
I await you urgent reply(You should send a reply mail to my private mail
box maryjones207@myway.com).
Yours in Christ,
Mrs Mary Jones
