Subject: USE THIS FUNDS TO HELP THE POOR
USE THIS FUNDS TO HELP THE POOR CHRISTIANS
From: MRS. MARY COLLINS
I am the above named person but now undergoing medical
treatment now. I
am married to Dr. JOHN COLLINS who worked with South Africa
embassy in
Malaysia for nine years before he died in the year 2002. 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
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$27.6Million (twenty-seven
Million six
hundred thousand U.S. Dollars) with one faniance/security
company in
Europe.
Presently, this money is still with the Security Company.
Recently, my
Doctor told me that I would not last for the next three
months due to
cancer problem. Though what disturbs me most is my stroke.
Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to
church or
better still a christian individual that will utilize this
money the way
I am going to instruct here in. I want a church or
individual that will
use this 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 bossom 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,and because of 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 Finance/Security Company Europe. I
will also issue
you a letter of authority that will empower you as the
original-
beneficiary of this fund. I want you and the church 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.
Any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing for a
church or
christian individual for this same purpose. you can reply me
with this
email( marycollins1960@yahoo.co.uk ) Please assure me that
you will act
accordingly as I stated herein. Hoping to hear from you.
Remain blessed in the name of the Lord,
Mrs. MARY COLLINS
