Subject: DEARLY BELOVED IN CHRIST.
Dearly Beloved in Christ,
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 Roda Williams the wife of Mr Peter Williams,my husband
worked with the Chevron/Texaco in Kenya for twenty years before he died in
the year 2001.We were married for twenty-seven 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 $15.5M.(Fifteen million Five Hundred Thousand
U.S. Dollars)with a Bank in urope.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 Attorney who
is in Europe as he will be the one to assist you in laying claims for this
funds.
Please reply to my

Yours in Christ,
Roda Williams.
