Subject: PLEASE ENDEAVOUR TO USE IT FOR THE CHILDREN OF GOD

DONATION FOR THE LORD

From: Mrs Mary Alfred Williams

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 Dr Alfred Williams who worked with
Senegalise 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 and we lived happilly.
Since his death, I decided not to re-marry or get a child outside my matrimonial
home which the Bible is really against. When my late husband was alive he
secured $15Million (Fifteen Million U.S. Dollars) with a Vault Company here
in Cote D'Ivoire. Presently, this money is still with the Vault Company.
Recently, my Doctor told me that from all the test conducted on my health,
I am not going to last long, expecially, due to my cancer and stroke. But
what disturbs me most now is stroke.

Having known my condition, I decided to donate this fund to churches or
Christian individual that will utilize this money the way I am going to
instruct. I want a church or individual that will use this money to fund
churches, Orphanages and Widows. Also, the propagation of the work of God,
building and maintaining the house of God through this money, is very important.
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. I don´t want my husband´s
hard earned money to be misused by unbelievers, for their own selfish interest
and in an ungodly manner. I am not afraid of death hence I know where I
am going. I know that I am going to be in the bossom 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 sometimes.
I don´t want them to know about this development, but I know that With God
all things are possible.

As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the Vault
Company in Cote D' Ivoire. I will also give you all information regarding
the deposit of this money, and issue you a letter of authority that will
empower you as the original- beneficiary of this fund. Meanwhile, I will
want you and your church to always pray for me because God work in misterious
ways. 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 herein.
Hoping to hear from you soon. Remain blessed in the name of the Lord.

Yours in Christ,
Mrs Mary Alfred Williams
