Subject: Dearest in Christ,
Dearest in Christ,
Compliments, It's with Heavy Heart I am reaching you regarding the death
of my late client. I am Barrister Joseph Young, of Joseph & Associate,
the legal adviser to late Mr. and Mrs. DAVID YUEN, a very Wealthy
Indonesian couple that lived here in Nigeria for 25 years before their
recent Death on the 26th of December during the Tsunami disaster last
year (2004). This couple served God as very dedicated Christians, they
so dedicated their life to God but they had no child till they died.
Throughout their stay here in Nigeria, they acquired a lot of properties
(houses). As their legal adviser, before their death, the husband Mr.
DAVID YUEN instructed me to write his WILL because they had no child;
they dedicated their wealth to God. According to the WILL, their assets
should be given out to a ministry for the work of God.
As their legal adviser, all the documents for the assets that are
deposited with the security company are in my care. He gave me the
authority to give out the funds to the Ministriesfor the work of God. As
instructed by Mr. DAVID YUEN before his death. As a matter of fact the
total amount of money that is contained in the trunk Box is
$3,800,000.00, I did not want the management of the Security Company to
know the content of the consignments, and therefore I registered the
content of the consignments as Gold Bars. Now, the security company
believes that what I deposited with them were Gold Bars.
After my fasting and prayers Today, I asked God to make his choice and
direct me to an honest Christian or the chosen ministry that deserves
this fund by his Grace. I then came across your address on the Internet
as I was browsing. I appeal to you for the fund to be used wisely for
things that will glorify the name of God. I have just notified the
Security Company where I deposited the consignments that contained the
fund, that I am moving the consignment abroad, and the security company
is awaiting my authority to move the consignment out of the shores of
their custody.
Dear child of Zion, if you know that you will use this fund honestly and
wisely for things that will glorify God's name, then do contact me with
all this information immediately. Your full name, Physical address,
private telephone and fax numbers respectively.
Your prompt response will be highly appreciated via this email address
young@deacons.com
Yours in Christ,
Barrister Joseph Young.
