Beloved,

I am the above named person from Liberia, presently staying in England.
I am married to Mr. Cletus John who worked with Liberian Embassy in Zambia
for nine years before he died in the year 2003. We were married for eleven
(11) years without a child and he died after a brief illness that lasted
for just four (4) days.

Before his death, we were both born- again Christians, since my husband?s
death, I have decided never to re-marry or have a child outside my matrimonial
home which the bible is against. When my late husband was still alive he
deposited the sum of US$10,500,000.00 (Ten Million, Five Hundred Thousand
United States Dollars only) with a Security Company in Europe in my name
and this money is still with the Security Company up till this moment. Recently,
my doctor notified me that I have less than eight (8) months to live due
to my cancer problem but the one that bothers me most is my stroke sickness.
Having known my condition, I decided to leave 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 endeavour that the house of God
is fully maintained. My Bible tell me that "Blessed is the hand that gives,
I took this decision because I do not have any child that will inherit this
money and my husband?s relatives are not Christians and I do not want my
husband?s effort to be used by un-believers.

I do not want a situation where this money will be used in an ungodly way,
this is the reason I am taking this decision, and moreover I am not afraid
of death because I know where I am going. I know that I am going to be in
the bosom of our Lord. Exodus 14 VS 14 says that the Lord will fight my
case and I shall hold my peace. Telephone communications will be minimal
in this regard because of my health and also being fully aware of the presence
of my husband?s relatives and my doctors who are always around me. I do
not want them to know about this development for I know that with God all
things are Possible.

As soon as I receive your reply, I will inform the Security Company in Europe
that you are the beneficiary of the said consignment and you will need to
go and claim this fund in Europe. I will also issue you an authorization
letter that will prove that you are the rightful beneficiary to the fund.
I want you and your organization to always pray for me because the Lord
is my Strength, Shepherd and my Help. My happiness is that I lived a life
of a worthy Christian and whosoever that wants to serve our Lord must serve
him in spirit and in truth. Please always be prayerful for God is our source
and once we are separated from our source, we are dead spiritually which
automatically manifests in the physical.

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. If you want to talk by phone, you can send your telephone
number by fax so that if my health permits me, I can call you or if you
have message, you can equally call my doctor?s telephone number 00447040120051.
DR. CHARLES

Hoping to receive your reply soon and remain blessed in the Lord.please
try and reply me in my private email address which is marry_christy@yahoo.com



Yours in Christ,


MRS. MARY CHRISTY
