My dearest in Christ,
May God be praised and his mercies on you!
Do not be surprised by the contents of this email, I am sending you this
email based on my personal conviction that goodness can be metted out to
those that deserve upliftment,believe that good people still exists in this
world.
I am Mrs. Hanna Elise Leon, from Israel. I am married to Kirsch Leon of
blessed memory who worked with Israeli embassy in Madrid Spain for nine
years before he died in the year 2003. We were married for eleven years
without a child; he died after a brief illness that lasted only four days.
Before his death he was a very devoted Jew and I was a devoted Christian by
birth battling with both cancer and fibroid problems when my late husband
was alive he deposited the sum of $14.5million dollars (Fourteen million,
five
hundred thousand dollars) with a bank/finance firm. Presently, this money is
still with
the bank/finance firm in Nigeria.
Recently, my doctor told me that I had a terminating illness (cancer) that
would last for the next four months. Though what disturbs me most is my
stroke sickness, having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to
either a Christian organization or a devoted Christian individual that will
utilize this money the way I am going to instruct here in. I want this
Christian organization or individual to use this money in all sincerity to
fund churches, orphanages, widows, those with relief disasters like the
recent events like hurricane Katrina and the Tumasi disaster., and also
propagating the word of God and to ensure that the society upholds the views
and beliefs of the holy bible.
The holy bible emphasized so much on the giving of alms, charity and this
has encouraged me in taking this bold step. I took this decision because I
don't have any child to start with and and my husband's relatives are all
Jews
and I don't want my husband hard earned money to be misused by people that
call me an unbeliever. I don't want a situation where this money will be
used in an unholy manner hence the reason for taking this bold decision. I
know that after death I will be with God the highest and the most merciful
one. I don't need any telephone communications but will need your trust,
good heart.This individual, will be in touch and inform you on modalities
for the
actual clearance of the consignment and subsequent bequeathing to your
person as I wish. He will be more like my representative.He is an attorney
my husband used for his dealings in Africa as a whole.
With God, I know that all thing are possible and as soon as I receive your
reply, I will give him your contact details to be in contact and I shall
also give you the contact of the bank/finance firm in Nigeria. I will
also authorize that you will be the original beneficiary of the funds. I
want you and the Christian community where you reside to always pray for me.
My happiness is that I lived a life of a true devoted Christian though
married to a Jew, whoever that wants to serve God must serve him in truth
and in spirit, please always be prayerful all through your life. Any delay
in your reply will give me room in sourcing for another Christian
organization or a devoted Christian for the same purpose.
NB: I WILL DEDICATE 20% OF THE SUM AS THE SHARE TO YOU FOR
IMPLEMENTING THIS PROJECT FOR ME!! GOD BLESS YOU
Until I hear from you my dreams will rest squarely
on your shoulders, may the Almighty God continue to guide and protect you.
Amen.
Yours faithfully,
Mrs. Hanna Elise Leon
