Subject: Strictly Personal
Sir,
May the peace of the our heavenly Father be upon you and your household. My name is Tina Johnson, married to Mr. Solomon Johnson who worked with Shell(SPDC)in Sudan for Fifteen years before he died in the year 2004. We were married for nineteen years with a child (Adonis). 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 re-marry or get a child outside my matrimonial home which I personally hold as a sign of respect for him. When he was alive, the sum of $5.5 Million (Five million five hundred thousand U.S.Dollars) was depoited in a bank in Dakar Senegal. Presently, this money is still in the bank.
Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not last for the next Six months due to cancer problem. The one that disturbs me most is my stroke sickness. Having known my condition I decided to seek the help of a capable foreign investor/financial managers in a stable economy who can invest, manage and control this fund for our teenage Son (Adonis).
Part of this money I will ask to be donated to a church or charity homes that will utilize it accordingly as stated herein. I want a church that will use this fund for orphanages, widows, propagating the word of God. The Bible made us to understand that "Blessed is the hand that Giveth" and that "Givers never Lack"
I took this decision awarding my Son (Adonis) 50% of this money which will help to secure him a good education, accomodation and also for the sake of God I will like you to take him as your child and look after him until he finishes his education. 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 bossom of the Lord. Exodus 14 VS 14 says that "the lord will fight my case and I shall hold my Peace".
As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the bank and my account number. I will also issue the bank a letter of Authority that will prove you as the present beneficiary of my funds in whose name and account the money will be transferred. I want you and your family to always pray for me and my son because the lord is my Shephard.
Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated herein. Hoping to hear from you soon.
Remain blessed in the Lord.
Yours in Christ,
Mrs.Justina Johnson
