Subject:
Mrs.Jennifer Briggs.
Dear in Christ ,
I am the above named person from Sudan. I am married to Mr. Greg Briggs who
worked with Shell(SPDC)in Sudan for Fifteen years before he died in the year
2002. We were married for nineteen years with a child.My husband was shot
dead when the Sudan People's Libration Army(SPLA)attacked our home. Before
his death, we were both born again Christian.
Since his death, I decided not to remarry or get a child outside my
matrimonial home which the Bible is against.When my late husband was alive
he left the sum of $3.5 Million (Three million five hundred thousand
U.S.Dollars) in fixed deposite with one of the local Finance firm here in
Dakar Senegal. Presently, this money is still in the finance firm.
Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not last for the next Four months
due to cancer problem. The one that disturbs me most is my stroke sickness.
Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to a church or
charity homes that will utilize this money accordingly as stated herein. I
want a church that will use this fund for orphanages, widows, propagating
the word of God and to endeavour that the house of God is maintained. The
Bible made us to understand that "Blessed is the hand that Giveth" and that
"Givers never Lack"
I took this decision because of my only Child that will inherit 25% from
this money and help to secure a good education & accomodation and also for
the sake of God i will like you to take him as your child and as a guidiane
to him.I don't want my husband's efforts to be used by unbelievers. I don't
want a situation where this money will be used in an ungodly way. This is
why I am taking this 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 14 says th at "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. With God all things are
possible.
As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the Finance
Firm and my account number both the web site of the Finance Firm here in
Dakar-Senegal . I will also issue you an Authority letter that will prove
you as the present beneficiary of my funds. I want you and your family to
always pray for me and my son because the lord is my Shephard. My happiness
is that I lived a life of a worthy to Emulate as a born again 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 another church,organization or individual for
this same purpose.Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated
herein.
Hoping to receive your reply.
Remain blessed in the Lord.
Yours in Christ,
Ms J Briggs
