Subject: REMAIN BLESSED.
I am the above named person from Kuwait but now undergoing medical
treatment.
My name is Mrs Roseline Johnson a nationality of Kuwait. I am married to
late Mr. Tom Johnson who worked with Kuwait embassy in Ivory Coast for nine
years before he died in the year Octorber
2003. We were married for twenty years with a child. He died after a illness
that lasted for four days. Before his death we were both born again
Christians.
When my late husband was alive we deposited the sum of USD 9,500,000.00
(nine Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) with one of the
good banks here in Cote d'Ivoire . Presently, this money is still with the
bank. Recently my Doctor told me that I would not last for the next three
months due to my cancer problem. Though what disturbs me most is my stroke.
Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to church or better
still a Christian
individual that will utilize this money the way I amgoing to instruct here
in. I want a person or church that will use this fund to churches,
orphanages, research centers 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 have a child that will inherit this money but
my son can not carryout this work only because I and my late husband decide
to use some of the money to work for God and live some for our son to have a
better live. our son is just 17yearold now and been grow up in africa, he
have low manterity and my husband´s relatives are not Christians and I don´t
want my family hard earned money to be misused 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 hence I know where I am going to. 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 want your telephone communication in this regard because of
my health and
because of the presence of my family relatives around me always .I don´t
want any of my husband family relatives to know about this money. With God
all things are possible. As soon as
I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the Finance/bank. I
will also issue you a letter of authority that will empowerment you as the
new beneficiary of this fund.I want you and the church to always pray for
me because the lord is my shepherd. My happiness is that I live a life of a
worthy Christian.
please I want you to be aware that according to my attorney there are some
important documents that will be required by the bank for the transfer, this
is where I will need your little assistance before the fund can be transfer
with the help of my attorney.
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 for a
church or Christian individual for this same purpose. Please assure me that
you will act accordingly as I stated here.
I sent you this mail under severe pains. Any delay in your reply will be
detrimental. Please assure me that you will act accordingly.
Hoping to hear from you immediately.
Remain blessed in the name of the Lord.
Yours in Christ.
Mrs. Roseline Johnson
