Subject: GOOD DAY
My Dear Beloved in the Lord,
I am Mrs Rita Petrov, A National Of Russia.I am married to late Engr.Yuri
Petrov who work as a Director with Shell Petroleum Development Company in
Russia before he died in the year 2001 after a brief illness that lasted for
only five days.We were married for Seventeen years with aduaghter(Lilian)who
later died in a motor accident. Before the untimely death of myhusband we
were both Born again Christians.Since after his death I decided not to
remarry or get a child outside my matrimonial homewhich the Bible is against.
When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of ($18,000,000.00 USD)
Eighteen Million UnitedStates Dollarswith a Bank in England whose name is
whithed until we open up communication.
This money is still with the Bank, Recently Following my ill health, my
Doctor told me that I may not last for the next Couple Of Months due to my
cancerproblem.The one that disturbs me most is my inability to
movearound.Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to a
Christain organization(Church) that will utilize this money the way I am
going to instruct herein,according to the desire of my late husband before
his death (I.Cor 2:9). I want this fund to be used in
ChristainActivitieslike,Orphanages,Christain schools, and Churches for
propagating the word of God and to endeavor that
the house of God is maintained(Isaiah43:19).The Bible made us to understand
that "Blessed is the nhandthat 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 Idon't want my husband's efforts to be used by unbelievers (Proverbs
4:25) (Ephesians 6:13).
I don't want a situation where this money will be used in an ungodlyway.This
is why I am taking this decision. I am not afraid of death hence I know where
Iam going. I know that I am going to be in the bosom of theLord. Exodus 14 VS
14 says that "the lord will fight my case and I shallhold my peace".Idon't
need any telephone communication in this regardbecause 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 allthings are possible. As soon as I receive
your reply I shall give you thecontact of the Bank.I will also issue you the
Letter Of Authority thatwill prove you the present beneficiary of thisfund.I
want you and theChurch to always pray for me because the lord is myshephard
(Philippians4:13).
My happiness is that I lived a life of a worthy Christian.Whoever thatWants
to serve the Lord must serve him in spirit and Truth.Please always be
prayerfulall through your life. Any delay in your reply will give meroom in
sourcing another individual for this same purpose.Please assure methat you
will actaccordingly as I Stated herein while i am Hoping to
receive your urgent reply.
Have a Wonderful Day.
Your Sister in Christ,
Mrs Rita Petrov.
