Subject: GOOD DAY
MRS LINDA WELSH
54 PORTLAND PLACE,
LONDON.
W1N 4AD
DEAR BELOVED,
PLEASE ENDEAVOUR TO USE IT FOR THE CHILDREN OF GOD.
I am the above named person from LONDON. I am married to MR PATRICK GERALD
WELSH who worked with BRITISH embassy in CANADA for nine years before
he died in the year 1999. We were married for eleven years without a child.
Hedied after a brief illness thatlasted 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£7.5 Million (seven
Million five hundred thousand pound sterling)with an OFFSHORE BANK herein
UK.
Presently, this money is still under the safe keeping of the BANK.
Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not last
for the next SEVEN months due to my cancer problems.
Though what disturbs me most is my stroke .Having known my condition,I
decided to donate this fund to church or better still a christian individual
That will utilize this money the way I am going toinstruct here in.
I want a church that will use this fund on, 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 Idon't want my
husband's hard earned money to be misused by unbelievers and 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 bossom of the Lord.
I know 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.
With God all things are possible. As soon as I receive your
reply I forward your personal information to my husband's Attorney in London
who will contact the BANK and introduce you as the legal owner of this fund
before transfering the fund into your nominated Bank Account
in your country.
You will be issued a letter of authority by him that will empower 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.
Your response should be channeled to my alternate email account at
( linawelsh10@yahoo.com ).
