Bless the children of God.
Dearest friend
I am the above named person but now undergoing medical treatment now in south
africa and formal south african government official before now. I am married
to Mr. alan barret who worked with south africa embassy in nigeria for nine
years before he died in the year 2001.
We were married for eleven years with two child.Whom died under tragic circumstances.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$5.6 Million (Five Million
six hundred thousand U.S. Dollars) with one finance/security company in Europe.
Presently, this money is still with the Security Company. Recently, my Doctor
told me that I would not last for the next three months due to 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 am going to instruct here in. I want a church
or individual that
will use this 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 and my husband relatives are not Christians and I don?t want my husband?s
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. 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. I don?t need any telephone communication in this regard because of
my health,and because of 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. As
soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the Attorney,
that will issue you a letter of authority/affidavite to make claims of the
fund to you in your country from the Finance/Security Company Europe. I will
also issue you a letter of authority that will empower you as the original-
beneficiary of this fund. 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. 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 herein. Hoping to hear from
you. note you are to take 80%, for the charity work to God then 5% for expenses,you
can collect the remianing 15% for your kindness and works.
please reply me through this email;susanbarret@msn.com
Remain blessed in the name of the Lord.
Yours in Christ,
Mrs Susan Barret,
For the family.
