From: "Mariam Williams" <marwills@hotmail.com>
Date: Sat, 08 Oct 2005 10:27:58 +0000
Subject: Dear Good Friend.
Dear Good Friend.
I am Mrs Mariam Williams from Solomon Islands near Australia. I am
married to Mr.Williams
Eekhoud from Belgium who worked with Belgian Embassy in Ivory Coast for
nine years before
he died this year may 2005.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 hence I decided not to
remarry or get a
child outside my matrimonial home after his death. When my late husband was
alive he deposited
the sum of $10.5 Million with a security company in EUROPE. Presently this
money is still in the
custody of the security company
Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not last for the next Eight months
due to cancer
problem.Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to a
church,organization or
good person that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct
herein.I want a
church,organization or good person 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".l took this
decision because I don't
have any child that will inherit this money and my husband relatives are not
Christians not even
good atall because they are the one that killed my husband in other to have
all my late husband
properties and I don't want my husband's efforts to be used by unbelievers.
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 give you the contact of the security company ,i
will also issue you an
authority letter that will prove you the present beneficiary of this fund. I
want you and the
church or the organization to always pray for me because the lord is my
shephard.
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.Contact me on
the this email address
and any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing another
church,organization or good
person for this same purpose.Please assure me that you will act accordingly
as I Stated herein.
Hoping to receive your response immedaitely.
Thanks and Remain blessed in the Lord.
l remain yours sister in Christ.
Mrs Mariam Williams.
