Subject: FROM MRS.MARY THOMAS!!!
FROM MRS.MARY THOMAS
Dear Beloved in Faith,
Compliments of the season.I hope that everything is moving in accordance
with ALMIGHTY GOD-thanks be to HIM if it's so.
I am MRS.MARY THOMAS from Burkina Faso. I am married to THOMAS OUEDRAOGO.
My husband is a successful business man and he is travelling from one Country
to another for business.And one day,that was on 7th of May 2003,he had a
terrible car crash on his
way home.After two days the accident occured,he died and his funeral rite
followed after two weeks of his death.And before his death we were a devoted
Christians.Before and after his death I too have been battling with both
cancer and fibroid problem.I had no
child even now,due to the fibroid am suffering.
When my husband was alive he deposited the sum of ($1.3Million U.S.Dollars
only) with INTERNATIONAL BANK OF AFRICA (IBA) here in OUAGADOUGOU,BURKINA
FASO since 2002.Recently,my doctor told me that I would not last for the
next two months due to cancer problem.Though what disturbs me most is my
stroke sickness.Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund
to either a charity organization,devoted Christian individual or God fearing
person that will utilize this money the way I am going to instructs here
in.
I want an organization, individuals or God-fearing persons to use this money
with all sincerity to fund churches, orphanages,widows and also propagating
the word of God miracle.The Word of God emphasizes so much on God benevolence
and this I took this decision because I don't have any child that will inherit
this money and my husband relatives are not God fearing and I don't want
a situation where this money will be used
in an unholy manner.
Hence the reasons for taking this bold decision.I know that after death
I will be with God the most beneficent and most merciful.I don't need any
telephone communication in this regard because of my health,and also, because
of the presence of my husband's relatives arround always.I don't want them
to know about this development because they are extremely wicked.They hated
i and my husband because we are a devoted christian,and they are Muslems.With
God all things are possible,and also with your
assistance in this business we shall succeed.
I contacted on this business so that you will assist me to claim my husband?s
fund he deposited in the Bank here.Again,i offered you this task because
i don?t have any
relatives or trusted friends that will assist me claim this fund.As it may
interest you to know,i got your email address through email peoples directory
on Internet while searching for a nice foreigner that will help me in this
business.Immediately i came accross your contact,i made up my mind to chose-i
just don?t know why i did this.Infact,it?s only God who made it possible
for me to see your email address knows
best.Anyhow,as soon as I receive your reply, I shall give you an APPLICATION
TEXT you will send to the International Bank Of Africa (iba)where the Fund
was deposited in Account.I will also issue an order of authority to the
Bank,authorizing them that the said fund have being willed to you and i
will give the Bank whatever document they may required to back up your claim.
I want you and the believers / community where you reside to always pray
for me.My happiness is that I lived a true devoted life worthy of emulation.Whosoever,that
wants to serve God must serve him in truth and fairness.
Please always be prayerful all through your life.Any delay in your reply
will give room in sourcing for another person / organization for this same
purpose.You will have 40% out of the total amount for all your time to carry
out this dream and to cover whatever expenditures you may made in order
to claim this fund.
I am looking unfailingly to hearing from you so that my dream will rest
squarely on your shoulders.May Almighty God continue to guide and protect
you and
your family.
Thanks and be bless.
Best regards.
MRS.MARY THOMAS.
