Subject: IMPORTANT MESSAGE FROM MRS VILLARAN NENITA
Dearest In The Lord,
Greetings to you and your family, I am Mrs VILLARAN NENITA, from
Philippines. I am married to Mr. MARIO NENITA who worked with Philippines
embassy in Ivory Coast for nine years before he died in the year 2002.He is
also a well known fruits import and Export business man in Ivory Coast. 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 Christian.Since his death I decided not to
remarry or get a child outside my matrimonial home which the Bible is
against. When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of $5.6Million
US dolars with a bank in Ivory Coast Presently, this money is still in the
custody of the bank.Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not last for
the next three months due to cancer problem.
Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to a church or
better to a christian individual personality that will utilize this money
the way I am going to instruct herein. I want a church or an individual
personality that will use this money for orphanages, widows, propagating the
word of God and to endeavor 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 efforts
to be used by unbelievers. I don't want a situation where this money will be
used in an ungodly way. This is why I am taking this 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 health hence the presence of my husband's
relatives around me always.
I don't want them to know about this development as i am convinced that With
God by my said, all things are possible. As soon as I receive your reply I
shall give you the contact of the bank in Ivory Coast , I will also send a
copy of my passport to you and my photo and also issue you an authority
letter that will empower you to be the beneficiary of the money. I want you
and your church to always pray for me because the Lord is my shephard and he
shall see us through, My happiness is that I live a life of a worthy
Christian so i have no fear at all for i am convinced that God is with me
and he shall be with you if you make yourself avalable to take up this
spiritual project of God.
I believe that Whoever that Wants to serve the Lord must serve him in spirit
and Truth thus i took this decision. Please always be prayerful all through
your life.Contact me on this email address always and please be informed
that any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing another person
for this same purpose. Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I
Stated herein.
Hoping to receive your reply.
Remain blessed in the Lord.
Yours in Christ,
MRS VILLARAN NENITA
