Dear Friend,
Calvery Greetings, How are you hope you are keeping healthy,permit me to ask
you if you are in full time ministerial word? is your ministry
into humaniterian activities? as indicated in the directory where I found
your contact. Let me hasten to introduce myself as Mrs Maria Albert ,I am
married to Mr.Bancozzi Albert , an Italian based business man in INDIA, who
until his death was a timber and and raw matrials export marchant here in
INDIA. It's a sorrowful thing to say that he died in a fatal motor accident
alongside with our only son on the 19th of may 2004, while cominig back from
a business meeting.(God knows best). When my husband was alive,He deposited
his life's savings (u.s $10.5 million) in a security vault here INDIA as
family valuables, with my name as the next of kin. As God may have it,
recently i was diagonised of liver cancer, and the doctors said i have just
six months to live. In view of my condition, and the fact that i have nobody
to leave this money behind for, knowing full well that my late husband
people are after my life, just because i converted their most elderly
brother (my husband) to christainity, with the exception of my husband
people who are not Christains, I decided to
donate this money to either a living Church or a humaniterian
organization/religious organization that will use this money in propagating
the good massage and also taking care of theorphans,widows, and the needy
generally.( 2Cor: 4:6-18-17 ). By so doing, I would have susceeded in
immortalising the names of my late Husband and my only Son. Beloved, though
i am sick and dieing, I am not afraid of death because I know where I am
going. My soul has found a resting place in the handsome bossom of the lord.
Who shall seperate
us from the love of christ? Shall tribulation, or persecution- -- -Rom
8:28-38 vs 35 As soon as i receive your reply,I will give you the
contact of the company and all the legal documents that would warrant the
transfer of the fund to you. Please understand that this massage requires
urgency as my ill-health demands, any delay in your response will give me
room to contact other person, I also want an assurance that you will use
this fund for the purpose i have stated here. Hope to read from you
soon.
Remain blessed
Mrs Maria Albert
