Subject: GREETINGS IN THE NAME OF OUR LORD
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 Emilia Hills, the wife of Mr Harry Hills, my husband worked with
the Chevron/Texaco in Kenya for twenty years before he died in the year
2002.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 $3.5M.
(Three Million Five Hundred Thousand U.S. Dollars) with a Bank in Ghana.
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 Ghana, as he will be the one to
assist you in laying claims for this funds.
Please send all emails to : emyhills101@yahoo.com
thanks and God bless,
Yours in Christ,
Emilia Hills.
