From: Mrs Glen Veronica of Kuwait
I had to contact you this way because i know i can bestow my trust in you
and also because of the way spams mails are been use to represent me and
useing my name in contacting people so please u have to hear me outI am the
above named person from Kuwait. I am married to Dr. Glen Harry 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 lastedfor 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) with a finance/security
company in Europe.
Presently, this money is still with the Security Company
and the management just wrote me as the beneficiary
to come forward to receive the trunk box of money or
rather issue a letter of authorisation to somebody to
receive it on my behalf if I can not come over.
Presently, I'm in a hospital where I have been undergoing
treatment for oesophageal cancer. I have since lost my
ability to talk and my doctors have told me that I have
only a few weeks to live. It is my last wish to see this
money distributed to victims of this fire outbreak in
Australia and other charity organizations. Because
relatives and friends have plundered so much of my
wealth since my illness, I cannot live with the agony
of entrusting this huge responsibility to any of them.
Please,I beg you in the name of God to help me collect
the deposit and the interest accrued from the company
and distribute it accordingly.
I want a person that is God fearing that will use
this money to fund churches,orphanages and widows
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 . 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 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 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 soundless
voice a. As soon as I receive your reply I shall give
you the contact of the Finance/ Security Company in Europe.
I will also issue you a letter of authority that will prove
you as the new beneficiary of this fund. I want you and the
church to always pray for me because the lord is my shephard.
Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I
stated herein.
Hope to hear from you soon.
