EVONYETT FOUNDATIONS
Dear friend,
I am Mrs Evon D Yett from USA. I am married to the
Late Mr. George Yett who worked with the American
embassy in Dubai for Nine years and he was also a
Reverend, I have been in tourism for many years , my
husband 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 US$2.5M (Two Million, Five Hundred Thousand
United States Dollars) in a Bank in Europe, now My
Doctor have just told me that I would not last for the
next three months due to cancer problem.
Having known of my condition, I decided to contact you
in confidence, to make foundation with the
funds for the orphanages and widows and to propagate
the word of God and to ensure that orphanages are
educated. The Bible made us to understand that blessed
is the hand that gives. 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 our 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, my reason for taking this bold step is not that
am afraid of death. But because I know where I am
going to. 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, With God all things are possible.
As soon as I receive your reply I shall send to you
all relevant documents and a letter of authority that
will empower you as the heir/beneficiary of this fund.
Please, hear the voice of the less privileged crying,
so you should ensure to use this fund as I stated. I
want you and the church to always pray for me. My joy
today is that I lived a life of a worthy Christian.
Whoever that wants to serve the Lord must serve him in
spirit and in truth.
My friend always be prayerful all through your life.
Please any delay in your reply will give me room in
sourcing for a good Christian or individual for this
same purpose. 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. And please
send me your Names, Address, Telephone and Fax Numbers
so that it will be forwarded to the bank for the
release of this fund to you.
Please, I had made provision on how this fund should
be used. 80% for the funding of the church, orphanage
home and taking cares of the widows, 15%
for you, 5% will be used to settle your miscelleneous
expences.
You can e-mail me at my e-mail address for easy
communication While I await to hear from you.
God blessings to you
Mrs. Evon D. Yett.
