Subject: My Dearly Beloved,
My Dearly Beloved,
It is by the grace of God that I received
Christ,having known the truth,I had no choice than
to do what is lawful and right in the sight of God
for eternal life and in the sight of man for witness
of God?s mercy and glory upon my life.
I am Mrs Melissa Pointer the wife of Mr Harry
Pointer,my husband worked with the Chevron/Texaco
in Kenya for twenty years before he died in the year
2001.We were married for ten years without
a child.My Husband 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 US $3.5M.(Three Million Five
Hundred Thousand U.S.Dollars) with a Bank in
Europe.Presently,this money is still with the Bank
and the management just wrote me as the beneficiary
to come forward to sign for the release of this
money or rather issue a letter of authorization to
somebody to receive it on my behalf if I can not
come over.
Presently,I'm in a hospital in Kenya where I have
been undergoing treatment for esophageal 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
charity organizations any
where in the World.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 Stand and
collect the Funds from the Bank.
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
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
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 and 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 my attorney who is in Europe as he will be the one to
assist you in laying claims for this funds.
Your's Truly,
Mrs.Melissa Pointer
