Subject: I NEED YOUR ASSISTANT
USE THIS FUNDS TO HELP THE POOR CHRISTIANS
From: Mrs.Linda peters
Dear;
I am the above named person but now undergoing medical treatment now. I
am married to Dr.john peters who worked with South Africa embassy in
Malaysia for nine years before he died in the year 2000. 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. 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. Mrs. Linda peters
