Subject: From Mrs. Edward to my beloveth
Dear Beloveth,
I am Mrs Grace Edward from liberia, presently staying in Europe. I am married
to Mr. John Edward who worked with Angolan embassy in Lome-Togo for Ten
years before he died in the year 2002.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, due to my condition of health.
When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of $6.8Million (Six
Million Eight hundred thousand U.S. Dollars) with one security company in
US. 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 in Europe.
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.
Hoping to receive your reply and Remain blessed in the Lord.
Yours in Christ,
Mrs Grace Edward.
