ATTENTION:Sir/Madam
I am the above named person from Liberia. I am married to Mr. Cletus John
who worked with Liberian embassy in Lome-Togo for nine years before he died
in the year 2000.Wewere 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 Christian. Since his death I decided not to remarry or
get a child outside my matrimonial home which the Bible is against. When my
late husband was alive he deposited the sum of $6.8Million (Six Million
Eight hundred thousand U.S. Dollars) with one security company in Europe.
Presently, this money is still with the Security Company. Recently, my
Doctor told me that I would not last for the next Eight months due to cancer
problem. The one that disturbs me most is my stroke sickness. Having known
my condition I decided to keep this fund in Europe.
I want an organization or an individual that will use this fund for
rphanages, widows, propagating the word of God and to endeavor 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 husbands efforts to be used by unbelievers. I don't want a
situation where this money will be used in an ungodly way. 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 Lord. Exodus 14 VS
14 says that the lord will fight my case and I shall hold my peace. I don't
need any telephone communication in this regard because of my health hence
the presence of my husband?s relatives around me always. I don't want them
to know about this development. With God all things are possible.
As soon as I receive your reply I shall inform the security company in
Europe that you are the beneficiary of the said consignment you will need to
go and claim this fund in Europe. I will also issue you an authority 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 spirit and truth. Please always be
rayerful 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. If you want to talk by phone, you can call
my Lawyer on telephone number +447005963694, or mail him at
silkdarl@yahoo.com his name is Barrister Peter Frank. Hoping to receive your
reply and Remain blessed in the Lord.please send me your telephone/fax
number too so that my lawyer can contact you too thank you.Please make sure
