Subject: CAN YOU BE TRUSTED?PLEASE GET BACK TO ME.
ATTENTION:Sir/Madam
I am Mrs. Mary Paul from Liberia. I am married to Mr.Francis Paul who worked
with Liberian embassy in Lome-Togo 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 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 $14. 7
Million (FOURTEEN MILLION SEVEN HUNDRED THOUSAND U.S.A 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 assist me and use this fund to help the homeless and hopeless ones,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 very wicked and I don't want my husbands efforts to be
used by the
wicked ones.
I don't want a situation where this money will be use 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 are around me always and 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 as 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 believe that if this fund hit
into your account,you will use it and help those who don't have anything.
Any delay in your reply will give me room in searching for another person
for this same purpose,please assure me that you will act accordingly as I
stated herein.you can mail my lawyer at (johnraymond2005@box.az)his name is
Barrister John Raymond 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 immediately thank you.
Yours in Christ,
Mrs. Mary Paul
