Donation for the less priveledged.
I am the above named person from Kuwait. I am married
to Dr. Harry Jones who worked with Canada Embassy in
Kuwait for fifteen years before he died in the year
2000.We were married for twenty two 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 $4.6Million (Four Million six
hundred thousand U.S.Dollars) with a finance/security
company in Europe.
Presently, this money is still with the Security
Company and the management just wrote me as the beneficiary
to come forward to receive the trunk box of money or
rather issue a letter of authorisation to somebody to
receive it on my behalf if I can not come over.
Presently, I'm 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 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 company
and distribute it accordingly.
I want a person that is God fearing that will use
this money 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 . I don't 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 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 soundless
voice. With God all things are possible.
As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the
Finance/ Security Company in Europe. I will also issue
you a letter of authority that will prove you as the
new beneficiary of this fund. I want you and the
church to always pray for me because the
lord is my shephard.
Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I
stated herein.
please i will await your response in this address:
jonesmary02@netscape.net
Hoping to hearing from you soon.
Regards,
Mrs Mary Jones
