Subject: FROM MRS JOY ANU

Mrs. Joy Anu
PLOT 765 WATER FRONTBOSTON HOUSEPMB
87006 VICTORIA ISLAND,
LAGOS NIGERIA,
PLEASE ENDEAVOUR TO USE IT FOR THECHILDREN OF GOD.

Dear,

I am the above named person from Kuwait. I am married to Dr. Kazeem
Anu, who worked with Kuwait embassy in Nigeria for nine years before he
died
in the year 2003. 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 Christians. Since his death I decided
not
to re-marry or get a child outside my matrimonial home, which the Bible
is against. When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of$12
Million (Twelve Million U.S. Dollars) with a Reserve / Security company.

Presently, this money is still under the safe keeping of the Reserve /Security

company.

Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not last for the next three
months due to my cancer problems. Though what disturbs me most is my stroke.

Having known my condition, I decided to donate this fund to an organization
or
better still a God fearing individual that will utilize this money the
way I am going to instruct here in.

I want a fellow that will use this fund on, 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
and my husband relatives are not Christians and I don?t want my husband?s

hard earned money to be misused by unbelievers. I don?t want a situation

where this money will be used in an ungodly manner. Hence the reasons 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 blossom 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 because of 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 will forward your personal

information to my lawyer and the security company so that they will contact
you as
the legal owner of this fund before transferring the fund into your
nominated Bank Account in your country. I will also issue you a letter of

authority that will empower you as the original-beneficiary of this fund.
I want you and your family to always pray for me because the lord is my
shepherd.My happiness is that I lived worthy life as a God fearing
person. Whoever that wants to serve the Lord must serve him in spirit and

truth.

Please always be prayerful all through your life.Please assure me that
you will act accordingly as I stated here in.Once I hear from you I will

give to you a lawyer that I have contacted to take care of this transaction,
personal contact as to get intouch with him and know what is required
of you, as to be able to do the needed.
Hoping to hear from you as soon as possible.

Remain blessed in the name of God the most High.
My Very Best Regards,
Mrs. JOY ANU
