Subject: PLEASE ENDEAVOUR TO USED IT FOR THE CHILDREN OF GOD
PLEASE ENDEAVOUR TO USED IT FOR THE CHILDREN OF GOD
From: Mrs. Ruth Serena
Dear Beloved,
I am the above named person from England. I am married to Dr Hillary Serena
who worked with a construction company in Asia for twenty years before he
died in the tsunami disasters. We were married for eleven years without a
child. Until 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
$8.6 Million (Eight Million six hundred thousand U.S. Dollars) with Bank in
London, England. Presently, this money is still with the Bank. Recently, the
management of the Bank just wrote me as the beneficiary to come forward to
receive the money or rather issue a letter of authorization to somebody to
receive it on my behalf. I am presently in a hospital in The Netherlands
where I have been undergoing treatment cancer of the lungs, I have since
lost my ability to talk and my doctors have told me that I have only a few
months to live.
Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to church or better
still a Christian individual that will utilize 80% of this money to fund
churches, orphanages and widows around the world in my name. The Bible made
us to understand that blessed is the hand that giveth. Exodus 14 VS 14 says
that "the lord will fight my case and I shall hold my peace". As soon as I
receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the Bank. I will also
issue you a letter of authority that will prove you as the original -
beneficiary of this fund. I want you and the church 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 assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated
herein. Remain blessed in the name of the Lord.
Yours in Christ
Mrs. Ruth Serena
