Subject: Call For Charity Work.
Dear Beloved,
With respect and humility, I am writing this letter to solicit for your
assistance to carry out charity work; though it looks strange hence we don't
know each other. I am Mrs Sarah Garuba from South Africa. I was married to
Mr.Garuba Williams who worked with Nigeria Port Authority(NPA) as Controller
General at Tinka Island Sea-Port in Lagos for Twelve years before he died in
the year 2004 june.
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
Christian. Since his death I decided not to remarry or get a child outside
my matrimonial home.
When my late husband was alife he deposited the sum of (Twenty Million
U.S. Dollars)with "Zenith International Securities Corporation" here in
Nigeria. This securities corporation in collaboration with
"Diplomatic Express Courier Services" help in the shipment of valuable goods
out of the country through Diplomatic means, so the fund is packaged in
consignments.
Presently, these consignments are still with the Securities Corporation.
Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not last for the next Eight months
due to cancer problem.The one that disturbs me most is my stroke sickness.
Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to any individual
organisation that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct. I
want a God fearing individual who is responsible and will use this funds for
orphanages, widows, propagating the work of God and to endeavor that the
house of God is maintained. I am made to understand that Blessed is the
hand that giveth. I took this decision because I dont have any child that
will inherit this money and my husband's
relatives are not God fearing and I dont want my husband's effort to be used
by
mismanagers. I dont 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 because I know where I am going. I know that I
am going to be in the bosom of the Lord. I dont need any telephone
communication in this regard because of my poor health that is why the
presence of my late husband's relatives around me always. I dont want
them to know about this development. As soon as I receive your reply I shall
give you the contact name of my lawyer, telephone number and email address
who will issue you an authority letter that will prove you the present
beneficiary of this fund. I want you to always pray for me because the lord
is my shephard. With God all things are possible. My happiness is that I
live a life of a worthy life.
Whoever that Wants to serve the Lord must serve him in spirit and Truth.
Please always be prayerful all through your life.
Please I want you to assure me that you will act accordingly as I Stated
Above. Remain blessed in the Lord.
Best Regards,
Mrs Sarah Garuba.
