PLEASE ENDEAVOUR TO USE THIS FOR CHARITY.
Calvary Greetings!!
My name is Mrs. Ruth Makary a 65yrs old lady. I am a cancer patient and a
nationality of Kuwait. I am married to Mr. Sammy Makary a businessman who
worked with Kuwait embassy in Bahamas for nine years before he died in an
automobile crash in December 1999. We were married for eleven years without
a child. Before his death we were devoted Christians. When my late husband
was alive we protected our hard earned savings of $USD5 Million through
investment in a fixed deposit escrow account with a bank in the Bahamas at a
yielding interests of 15% monthly. I was the next of kin as the bank laws
demand. The purpose of this investment was to safe our principal capital and
make use of the interests on the funds for our upkeep since the principal
fund and its interest are exempt from taxes under the Bahamas law. But
unfortunately he dies.
Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not last long due to my cancer
problem. Though what disturbs me most is my stroke. I developed this
sickness as a result of the sudden shock and hearth attack I had when the
breaking news came to me on that faithful day that my husband was involved
in an auto crash and died at the spot in Nassau Bahamas, December 1999. Ever
since then I have been suffering in this sickness.
Having known my condition I decided to write to the bank to freeze the
investment (i.e. principal capital and interests) and donate to church or
better still a Christian individual that will utilize this money the way I
am going to instruct here in. I want an individual that will use this fund
to churches, Orphanages, Research centers and widows, propagating the word
of God and to ensure that the house of God is maintained.
I took this bold decision because I don’t have any child that will inherit
this money and my husband’s relatives are of questionable characters and are
not Christians. And I don’t want our hard earned money to be misused by
unbelievers and I would dislike a situation where this money will be used in
an ungodly manner. Hence the reasons for taking this bold decision.
I am not afraid of death hence I know where I am going and everyone is
entitling to death. 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 will be glad to speak with you if I had the privileged to do so.
With God all things are possible.
As soon as I receive your reply indicating your interest to help me, I shall
request the bank to contact you and furnish you with the processes and
procedures of release of the funds to you via their bank.
I want you and the church to always pray for me. 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 for other
people for this same purpose.
Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated here, and please
always remember me in your prayers. Expecting to hearing from you soon.
Remain blessed in the name of the Lord.
Yours in Christ,
Mrs. Ruth Makary.
