Beloved In Christ,

Dearest one.

Calvary greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, I
am Evang.SUSAN peters I am 75years old, am suffering from
long time liver problem.

>From all indications, my condition is serious and according
to my doctor it is quite obvious that I may not survive the
sickness,although as a christain, I beleive God, and I know
that I will not die, I will leave to declare the Glory of
God. My late Husband and my only son were killed during the
Ogoni Crisis and I am presently living alone.Our Lord Jesus
Christ is my comforter.

My late Husband was very wealthy we had a lot of properties
including Shares and houses.After the death of my Husband,I
made up my mind to
travel abroad to leave the rest of my life and continue to
do the work of God as a missionary. I called our lawyer
and I instructed him to
sell all my Husband properties and shares to enable me
raise some money to continue my mission.

Our family lawyer sold the Shares and some of the
properties and I was able to
raise the sum of Four Million Three Hundred Thousand United
States Dollars (US$4.3M) The fund is in cash, for the
safety of the fund till I am able to travel out,I packaged
the fund in consignments deposited it with a
Security/Finance Company. Presently,all the documents
concerning the consignments are with our family lawyer.

Now that my sickness has gone to this stage,I am scared and
I want the fund to be used for the work of God all over the
world. I have prayed
and I told God to direct me to an honest person who will
receive this fund and utilise it for things that will
glorify the name of God
After my prayers,I searched the internet, I found your
e-mail address and I decided to contact you.

Please if you are interested in using this fund for the
work of God, please send to me your private phone and fax
numbers, full names and
address to enable me give it to my lawyer for immediate
arrangement with the security company on how the
consignments that contains the funds will be delivered to
you.

You can reply with this email address.
I await your urgent reply.

Thanks and God bless you.

Evang. Susan Peters.
