Subject: TREAT AS URGENT
From, MRS JUSTINA BENSON MY DONATION FOR THE LORD
Dearest in the Lord.
PLEASE ENDEAVOUR TO USE IT FOR THE CHILDREN OF GOD.I am the above named
person from Senegal. I am married to MRS.JUSTINA BENSON Rowland who worked
with Senegalese embassy in South Africa 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$15.6Millio(two
Million six hundred thousand U.S. Dollars)with financial institution in
Burkina Faso here. Presently, this money is still with the financial
institution.Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not last due to cancer
problem.
Though what disturbs me most is my stroke. Having known my condition I
decided to donate this fund to church or better still a Christian individual
that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct here in. I want
a church or individual that will use this 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'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 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,and 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 shall give you the contact of
the Financial institution in Burkina Faso. I will also issue you a letter of
authority that will empower you as the original- beneficiary of this
fund. I want you and the church to always pray for me because the lord is my
shepherd. My happiness is that I lived a life of a worthy Christian. Who
ever 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 a church or Christian individual for this
same purpose. Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated
here in.
Hoping to hear from you soon Remain blessed in the name of the Lord.
Yours in Christ,
