YOUR APPOINTMENT TO SERVE HUMANITY




Dear Beloved in Christ,

It is by the grace of God that I received Christ,knowing the truth and the
truth have set me free.Having known the truth, I had no choice than to do
what is lawful and right in the sight of God for eternal life and in the
sight of man for witness of God´s mercy and glory upon my life.


I am Mrs Mary John formally mrs Miriam El Khalid of Kuwait. I was married
to late Dr. Robert John formally Dr. Abu Haque El Khalid who worked with
Kuwait Embassy in Algeria for nine years before he died in the year 2000.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 (Eight
Million seven 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 forward my claim and receive the 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 with my laptop in a London hospital where I have been undergoing
treatment for oesophageal cancer. 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 to victims of the fire
outbreak in Australia ,Hunger ravaged African countries and
other 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 companyand
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 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'twant 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 14says that the lord will fight my case and I shall
hold my peace.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
and certificate of deposit issued by the Security company 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.


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 for another person for this same purpose.


Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated
herein.


I await you urgent reply.PLEASE REPLY ON MY ALTERNATE
MAILBOX IN YAHOO AS YAHOO IS EASIER FOR ME TO ASSES MY
MAIL.

Yours in Christ,


Mrs Mary John
