Subject: I WANT TO MAKE A DONATION TO YOUR CHURCH
Maryann Mberek
16 Rue be kpota
Lome-Togo
West- Africa,
Dear Christian Friend,
I am Mrs.Maryann Mberek from South Africa. I am married to Late Mr.Johannez Mberek of the blessed memory who worked with South African Embassy in Lome Togo for nine years before he died in the year 2004. 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 very devoted christians and since his death I too have been battling with both cancer and fibroid problems, when my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of US$12.6Million (Twelve Million six hundred thousand U.S. Dollars) in a credible Bank in a neighbouring African Country and presently this money is still with the Bank. Recently, my Doctor told me that I have a limited time to live due to my severe cancer problem which has now worsten to a stroke.
Having known my condition, I decided to use this few days remaining for me to entrust/handover this fund to either a Christian Organisation or a devoted christian individual that will utilize this fund the way I am going to instruct here- in. I want this Christian Organisation or individual to use this money with all sincererity, to fund Churches, Orphanages, Widows and also, in propagating the word of God and to ensure that the society upholds the views and beliefs of the Holy bible.
The Holy Bible emphasized so much on God's benevolent love and this has encouraged me to take this bold step. I took this decision because I don't have any child that will inherit this money and my husband relatives are fighting me every now and then over his properties and funds and I don't want my husbands hard earned money to be misused by people I see and regard as holigans. I don't want a situation where this money will be used in an unholy manner.
Hence the reason for taking this bold decision, I know that after death I will be with God the most high and the most merciful, I don't need any telephone communication in this regard because of my health and the presence of my husbands relatives around me always, I don't want them to know about this particular fund and my decision to entrust it out as I have related.
With God all things are possible. As soon as I receive your reply I shall issue an advice to the Bank and on the other hand, give you the contact of my Husband's lawyer whom was his witness at the time the fund was deposited in the Bank, so that you can collaborate/work with him to facilitate your swift take-over of the fund from the Bank . I want you and the Christian community where you reside to always pray for me, my happiness is that I lived a life of a true devoted Christian, worthy of emulation.
Whoever that wants to serve the Almighty God must serve him in truth and in fairness. Please always be prayerful all through your life. Any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing for a Christian Organisation or another devoted Christian for this same purpose.
Until I hear from you, remain blessed.
May the Almighty God continue to guide and protect you.
AMEN.
Regards,
Mrs. Maryann Mberek.
