Subject: Beloveth in Christ
FROM: MRS. MONICA SHAGAYA
Attn,Sir/Madam
I am the above named person from South Africa. I was married to Mr. PATRICK
SHAGAYA who worked as the Financial Director United Nation Development on
Africa for more than ten years before he died in the year 2002.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
$10.5Million (Ten million five hundred thousand U.S. Dollars) in my name
with one Security & Finance company in Europe. Presently, this money is
still with the Security & Finance Company. Recently, my Doctor told me that
I would not last for the next Four months
due to cancer problem. The one that disturbs me most is my stroke sickness.
I want an organization or an individual that will use this fund 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 husbands efforts to be used byunbelievers.
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. With God all things are possible.
As soon as I receive your reply I shall inform the Security & Finance
company in Europe that you are the beneficiary of the said consignment you
will need to go and claim this fund from the Security & Finance Company. I
will also issue you an authority letter that will prove you as the present
beneficiary of this fund. I want you and the organization to always pray for
me because the lord is my shepherd. 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 another person for
this same purpose. Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I
stated herein.
Hoping to receive your reply and Remain blessed in the Lord. Yours in
Christ.
Waiting for your urgent response.
MRS. MONICA SHAGAYA.
