Subject: CALVARY GREETING
Dear Sir,
I am Mrs Doris Williams from Zimbabwe, presently staying in Lagos-Nigeria. I
am married to Mr. Cletus John Williams who worked with Zimbabwe embassy in
Lagos-Nigeria for nine years before he died in the year 2007. 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 $4M( Four
Million U.S. Dollars) with a private security company in Africa with
affiliate office in Europe and America. 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
WITH THE SECURITY COMPANY.
I want an organization or an individual that will use this fund for
orphanages, widows, propagating the word of God and to endeavor 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 don't want my husbands efforts to be used by unbelievers. I don't want a
situation where this money will be used 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 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 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 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 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 another person for
this same purpose. Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I
stated herein. If you want to speak to anyone concerning my plight, endeavor
to reach my pastors on 234-7025628063 for he is well briefed on this matter
and he is the only one i can trust to speak on my behalf. Hoping to receive
your reply and Remain blessed in the Lord.
Yours in Christ,
DORIS WILLIAMS.
