Dear Good Friend
I am the above named person from South Africa. I am married to DR.Waziri Anu
who worked with Kuwait Embassy in Nigeria for nine years before he died in
the year 2001. 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 $19.6M
(Ninteen Million Six Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) with a Reserve
/ Security company in Europe During one of his diplomatic tours and uptill
date the money is still under the safety keeping of the Reserve/Security
company.
Recently, my Doctor told me that I may not last for the next three months
due to my cancer problems. Though what disturbs me most is my stroke. Having
known my condition, I decided to donate this fund to an organization or a
good God fearing individual that will utilize this money the way I am going
to instruct here in.
I want a fellow/organization that will use this fund on, orphanages, widows
and promogating the word of God and to ensure that the house of God (
Allah) is maintained. The Bible made us to believe 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 in a situation where this money will be used in an ungodly manners and
ways, hence my reasons 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 blossom of the Lord. Exodus 14 VS 14 says that the lord
will fight my case and I shall hold my peace. I do not need any telephone
communication in this regard because of my health condition and secondly
because of the presence of my husband's relatives around me,I don't want
them to know anything about this issue.
As soon as I receive your reply indicating or assuring me to use the money
the way I just mentioned above, I will forward your personal information to
my lawyer and the security company so that they will contact you as the
legal owner of this fund and you will arrange with them on how to release or
make transfer on your request. My lawyer will also issue you a letter of
authority/Affidavit that will empower you as the new inheritor and
beneficiary of this funds.
I want you and your family to always pray for me because the lord is my
shepherd, my happiness is that I lived worthy life as a God fearing person,
Whoever that wants to serve the Lord must serve him in spirit and truth.
My good friend always be prayerful all through your life and please assure
me that you will act accordingly as I stated above.
Hoping to hear from you as soon as posible soon.
Remain blessed in the name of God the most High.
Yours Faithfully,
Mrs. Joy Anu
