Subject: kindly assist me
I am Dr.Mrs. Owens Mary from Madrid,Spain. I am married to Engr.Owens jim,
who worked as the financial director under United
Nation Development Programmed for Africa for more than ten 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 born again Christian. Since his death I decided
not to remarry or get a child outside my matrimonial home, which the bible is
against. When my husband was alive he deposited the sum of US$16.8Million United
State Dollars (Sixteen Million Eight
Hundred Thousand Dollars) with a London ALPHA SECURITY COMPANY in my name.
Presently, this money is still with the security company; recently, my doctor
told me that I would not last long due to cancer problem. The one that disturbs
me most is my partial paralysis sickness. Having known my condition I decided to
keep this fund in the security company. I want an organization or an individual
that will use this fund for
orphanages, Widows, propagating the word of God and to endeavor 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 efforts to be
used by unbelievers. I don't want a situation where this money will be used in
an ungodly way. This is why I am taking this decision. I am not afraid of death
hence I know where I am going. I know that I am going to be in the bosom 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 regards because of my
health hence the presence of my husband's relatives around me always. I don?t
want them to know about this development but I can call you if you send your
number across. With God all thing are possible.
As soon as I receive your reply I shall inform the security company, that you
are the beneficiary of the said consignment you will need to go and claim this
fund. I will also issue you an authority letter that will prove you the present
beneficiary of this fund. I want you and the
organization to always pray for me because the lord is my shepherd. 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
you're your life.
Any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing another person for this
same purpose. Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated herein.
Hoping to receive your reply and remain blessed in the lord. You can contact my
pastor Rev Marvin Smith, He is willing to
assist us to conclude this transaction peacefully or Email

Yours in Lord,
Dr.(Mrs.) Owens Mary.
