CHOSEN PEOPLE ORPHANAGE HOME {CPOH}.
Address: 152 - 3 - 8 Indah Mas, 3 1/2
Mile,56000 Kuala Lumpur,
Malaysia.

Dearest in Christ,

I have written to you,based on your spiritual understanding and
committal to God and His work.

I want to extend to you a giving opportunity of partnering with
us,to achieving a vision and a mandate giving to us by God,which
are stated below:

My name is:Jerry Foster,a leader of a christian ophanage home,
called :CHOSEN PEOPLE ORPHANAGE HOME {CPOH}.Situated here in Kuala
Lumpur Malaysia.

We are focused on ensuring,that no soul is lost,as every soul is
important to God.Malaysia is a country that is mainly Buhdaism,
Hinduism and majorly Islamism.Christianity is yet to take a
stand here in Malaysia.As a result,many children who have decided
to give their lives to God,because of the power of the Gospel,are
either thrown out of their parental homes or disowned by their
parents.

Therefore,making these children of wanting to regret of accepting
Jesus,because of their none parental christian believes.A lot of
efforts have been made to stopping the inhuman arts and bringing
to their notice the right of these children of what and what not
to believe but,all effort has been bashed against a stone.
In other not to allow the work we have started,that is gaining
grounds to slide away because of some parents attitudinal
injustice towards the right of their innocent children;my team
and I have decided to pledge our lives towards ensuring,that
these children were not left homeless.A lot of funds have been
raised to secure a rented apartment aready so that these children
can be fed and sheltered.

We have decided to play the part of their parents totaly in other
to fulfil God's plans in their lives.In other to play this part
successfuly,we have maped out strategies on how we can achieve our
plans,which are:

1.Sending them to good school,so they can aquire a good and sound
education .

2.Purchase of a parmanent parcel of land and the erection of it
proper,where these children can parmanently be raised in the
christian Ethics.To also enjoy what they would have enjoyed if
they were with their parents.We are also going to create a
recreational centres in the proposed site,so they can feel at home.
All the above,was estimated to be about Two Million Ringit
(RM 2.000.000)equivalent to Five Hundred and Fifty Thousand United
States Dollars($550.000)

I am using this medium to solicit for your kind christian support
and partnership,to partner with us,so we can realy achieve every of
our plans towards these children.

I do know,that this is a kind of burden that am casting on you at
this very time,but you will agree with me,that a life spent without
affecting others,was spent wrongly.With your little financial support
you can give others a smillng face.And that's what counts in HEAVEN.
My wonderful beloved,do not see it as a burden,rather see it as an
oppurtunity to put a smile on peoples face.

If God has touch your heart and you would want to be apart of this,
please reply as urgent as u can,so I can tell you how to go about it.
Thank you so very much as you give your surpot.

Please note: We are not asking of all the sum from you.Even a cent can
go a long way to assisting us.

May God's Infinite Mercy rest upon you as you go through my submission.
And I'am looking forward to your usual generosity.

Jerry Foster.
