Subject: PLEASE ENDEAVOUR TO USE FOR THE CHILDREN OF GOD.
FROM MRS MARY JAMES
PLEASE ENDEAVOUR TO USE FOR THE CHILDREN OF GOD.
I am the above named person from Kuwait. I am married to Dr.Hillarry James who worked with Kuwait embassy in Ivory Coast 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,since his death I decided not to re-marry or get a child outside my matrimonial home which the Bible is against.When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of$8.6Million (Eight Million six
hundred thousand U.S. Dollars) in one trunk box as gem stones with a finance/security company in South Africa which have thier affiliate branch office in Amsterderm,the Netherlands.
My husband did not tell the security company the real content of the box due to security reasons to avoid his unGodly relatives to be aware that he has such amount,he told the security company that the box contains gem stones.He asked them to move the box from South Africa to thier affiliate branch office in the Netherlands for more security.
Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not last for the next three months due to breast cancer I have been nursing for some years now.Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to church or better a christian individual that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct. I want an individual that will use this fund to fund churches, orphanages, widows,fight against cancer and also propagating the word of God and to ensure that the house of God is maintained. 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 and I don`t want my husband`s hard earned money to be mis-used by unbelievers. I don`t want a situation where this money will be used in an ungodly manner, Hence the reason for taking this bold
decision.
I am not afraid of death because I know where I am going, I know that I am going to rest in the bosom of the Lord. Exodus chapter 14 Verse 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 also due to the presence of my husband`s relatives around me always. I
don`t want them to know about this development. With God all things are possible. I will instruct my Lawyer who left South Africa to the Netherlands because of this transaction to issue you a letter of authority that will prove you as the original-beneficiary of this consignment funds and also all the documents backing the claims of this funds. I want you and the church to always pray for me because the lord is my shephard. 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 chucrh or
christian individual for this same purpose. Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated above.
I have assumed 5% percent of this funds for any expenses that might arise during this transaction and also 20% for your compensation for helping me in carrying out this project.So don`t worry about any expenses you might incure, I have instructed my lawyer to re-emburse you the money spent immediately the funds have been handed over to you by the security
company.
Hoping to hear from you.
Remain blessed in the name of the Lord.

Yours in Christ,
Mrs Mary James
