Subject: THANK GOD AM ALIVE TODAY.
FROM MRS CHRISTINE HERINA BANAOF.
PRAISE GOD THE MOST
BENEVOLENT.
Dearly Beloved in Christ,
Peace be unto you all in Jesus
name. I am Mrs Christine Herina Banaof from Kuwait. It is by
the grace of God that I received Christ, Having known the truth, I had no choice
than to do what is lawful and right in the sight of God for eternal life and in
the sight of man for witness of God´s mercy and glory upon my life.
I am married to Late Herina Banaof blessed memory who worked with
Kuwait embassy in Sudan 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 very devoted
Christians. Since his death I decided not to re-marry or get a child outside my
matrimonial home which the Bible is against.
Since his death I too have been battling with both cancer and fibroid problems.
When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum $12.3Million (Twelve
Million Three hundred thousand U.S. Dollars) with a Finance&Security Company
in Lome-Togo. Presently, this money is still with the Security Company.
Recently, my Doctor told me that I have a limited time to live on earth due to
my cancer problem. Though what disturbs me most is my stroke sickness. Having
known my condition I decided to donate this fund to either a christian
organization or devoted christian individual that will utilize this money the
way I am going to instruct here-in.
I want this christian
organization or individual to use this money in all sincerity to fund church,
orphanages,widows and also propagating the word of GOD and to ensure that the
society upholds the views and beliefs of the holy Bible. The holy Bible
emphasized so much on GOD'S benevolence and this has encouraged me to take this
bold step. 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 don't want my
husband's hard earned money to be misused in a way that it would not glorify the
name of our Almighty GOD. Relatives and friends have plundered so much of our
wealth since my illness, I cannot live with the agony of entrusting this huge
responsibility to any of them.
I don't want a situation where this money will be used in ungodly
manner, Hence the reason for taking this bold decision. I know that after death
I will be with GOD the most beneficent and the most merciful. I
am afraid since so many things are happening in the world now, like
hurricanes,earthquakes, bird flu and the Innocent and homeless people of the
Tsunami disaster. I just want you to be open minded and help me so that my funds
can make a great change in the affected peoples
lives.
I don't need any telephone communication
in this regard because of my health and of the present of my husband's relatives
around me always. 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 give you the contact of the Security Company. 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 christian community where you
reside to always pray for me. My happiness is that I lived a life of a true
devoted christian worthy of emulation. Whoever that wants to serve the LORD must
serve him in truth and in spirit.
Please always be prayerful all
through your life. Any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing for a
christian organization or a devoted christian for this same purpose. Until I
hear from you, my dreams will rest squarely on your shoulders. May the almighty
GOD continue to guide and protect you.
Bless
You,
MRS CHRISTINE HERINA BANAOF
