Subject: USE THIS MONEY TO HELP THE POOR
From: Mrs. Elizabeth Johnson
I am the above named person but now undergoing medical treatment for cancer
now. I
am married to Dr.George johnson who worked with South Africa embassy in
Malaysia
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.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$9.6Million Dollars(Nine Million six hundred thousand
U.S.
Dollars) with one finance 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 three months due to cancer
problem.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 to instruct here in.
I want a church or individual that will use this to fund 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 and
my husband relatives are not Christians and I do not want my husband's hard
earned
money to be misused by unbelievers. I do not want a situation where this
money will
be used 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.
Exodus 14 VS 14 says that the lord will fight my case and I shall hold my
peace. I
do not need any telephone communication in this regard because of my
health,and
because of the presence of my husband's relatives around me always. I do not
want
them to know about this development. With God all things are possible. As
soon as I
receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the Finance/Security
Company
Europe.
I will also issue you a letter of authority 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 shephard. 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 sourcing for a church or christian individual for this same purpose.
Please
assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated herein. Hoping to hear
from you.
Remain blessed in the name of the Lord,
His Love.
Mrs. Elizabeth Johnson
