Subject: HELLO DEAR FRIEND
MRS SANDRA WILLIAMS,
765 WATER FRONT
BOSTON HOUSE,
DEAR BELOVED,
PLEASE ENDEAVOUR TO USE IT FOR THE CHILDREN OF GOD.
I am the above named person from SOUTH AFRICA. I am married to DR. JOHNSON
WILLIAMS A CANADIAN but i am now in HOSPITAL taking treatment for my
sickness, who worked with canadian embassy in NIGERIA for nine years before
he died in the year 2003. 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$11.5 Million (Eleven
Million five hundred thousand U.S.Dollars) with a SECURITY COMPANY in
NIGERIA. Presently, this money is still under the safe keeping of the
SECURITY COMPANY. Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not last for the
next SEVEN 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 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 that will use this fund on, 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 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 will forward your personal information to the security company so
that they will contact you as the legal owner of this fund before
transfering the fund into your nominated Bank Account in your country.
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 beprayerful all through your 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 as soon as possible
.
Remain blessed in the name of the Lord.
Yours in Christ,
MRS SANDRA WILLIAMS
