PLEASE ENDEAVOUR TO USE IT ON CHURCHES,ORPHANAGES AND WIDOWS
REPLY TO EMAIL:stela_white@sify.com
Dearest one,
I am the above named person from Netherlands. I am married to Dr.Franklyn
white who worked with canada Embassy in Nigeria 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.When my late husband
was alive he deposited the sum of Fifteen million, four hundred thousand
U.S.Dollars (US$15.4) with BARCLAYS BANK PLC LONDON Presently, this money is
still with the above mentioned bank and the management just wrote me mas the
beneficiary to come forward to receive the money or rather issue a letter of
authorisation to somebody to receive it on my behalf if I can not come
over.Again,I'm with my laptop in a hospital where I have been undergoing
treatment for 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.
It is my last wish to see this money distributed to 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 bank and distribute
it accordingly.
I want a person that has God fearing, that will use this money on
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.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 searching for another person for
this same purpose.
Hoping to hear from you soonest.
Yours Sister in Christ,
MRS STELLA WHITE
NB:Please kindly contact me on my alternative
email:stela_white@sify.com for arrangements regarding this
transaction and assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated
herein.
