>From Mrs.Rodigruez
Hello my dear friend,
Forgive my indignation if this message comes to you as a surprise and may
offend your personality for contacting you without your prior consent and
writing through this channel.I got your contact from searching for a
reliable and honest person that will assist me safeguard fund .divinely
inspired to pick your name among other names found after series of
prayers/fasting for Gods direction. I am Mrs.vivian rodigruez. person from
Colombia undergoing medical treatment. I was married to Dr. phillip
rodigruez who worked with Malaysia embassy in South Africa for nine years
before he died in the year 2000.We were married for twenty 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.When my late husband
was alive he deposited the sum of $10.6 (Ten Million six hundred thousand
U.S.Dollars)with one finance/security company in EUROPE.Presently,this money
is still with the Security Company.Recently,my Doctor told me that I have
six months to live as I am terminally ill with cancer.Though what disturbs
me most is my partial paralysis. Having known my condition I decided to
donate this fund to a church/mosque or better still a Christian/Moslem
individual that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct here
in. I want a church/Mosque or individual that will use this to fund
churches/Mosque, orphanages and widows propagating the word of God and to
ensure that the house of God is maintained.They said 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's relatives are not Christians and I don't
want my husband's hard earned money to be mis-used 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 God.If
you will be of assistance,I will surely appreciate and reward you for your
kindness in rendering help to a dying woman.
