Subject: REV MRS .STELLA SMITH
Hello,
Good day. I propose to you based on the facts that I believe that it is one
day one
gets to know each other either by correspondence or by person although we
have not
met before.
To be precise,I am Mrs stella smith from Maldrid,presently staying in United
Kingdom.
I am married to Mr. williams smith who worked as the financial Director
United
nation Development on Africa for more than Ten 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 Christian.
Since his death I decided not to remarry or get a child outside my
matrimonial home
which the Bible is against. When my late husband was alive he deposited the
sum of
$11.7Million pounds sterling (Eleven Million seven hundred thousand pounds
sterling)
with a financial institution in Europe with my name. Presently, this money
is
still with the bank.
Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not last long due to cancer
problem. The
one that disturbs me most is my stroke sickness. Having known my condition I
decided
to keep this fund in Europe.
I want an organization or an individual that will use this fund for
orphanages,
widows, propagating the word of God and to endeavor 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/the bad relationship maintained . and I don't
want my
husbands efforts to be used by unbelievers.
I don't 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 hence I know where I
am
going.
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 don't need any
telephone
communication in this regard because of my health hence 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 inform the Bank in Europe that you
are the
beneficiary of the said consignment you will need to go and claim this fund
in
Europe.
I will also issue you an authority letter that will prove you the present
beneficiary of this fund. I want you and the organization to always pray for
me
because the lord is my shepherd.
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 another person for this same purpose.
Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated herein.
Hoping to receive your reply and Remain blessed in the Lord.
Please get back to me
yours in Christ,
REV MRS .STELLA SMITH
