Subject: GOOD FAITH
From: Mrs.Sarah Johnson.
17 Copse Hill,
Wimbledon, SW20 0NE,
London, United Kingdom.
My Dear Beloved,
I am the above named person but now undergoing medical treatment in Barnes
Hospital, South Wople Way, SW14 8SU, London, England. I am married to
ENGR.Richard P. Johnson who worked with British Judicial Commission in
Chelsea England for over a decade before he died on 7th of may in the year
2005. We were married for fifteen years without a child. He died after a
brief illness that lasted for two weeks. Before his death he made a vow to
use his wealth for the down trodden and the less privileged in the society.
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 £13
Million (thirteen Million Pounds sterling) with one Finance/Security Company
in Europe. Presently, this money is still with the Security Company.
Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not last for the next 4 months due
to a rare form of cancer of the pancreas.
Though what disturbs me most is my stroke. Having known my condition I
decided to donate this fund to an individual or better still a God fearing
person who will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct here in. I
want an individual that will use this to fund and provide succor to poor and
indigent persons, orphanages, and widows and for propagating peace
in the universe.
I understand that blessed is the hand that grivet. I took this decision
because I do not have any child that will inherit this money and my husband
relatives are not inclined to helping poor persons and I do not want my
husband's hard earned money to be misused or spent in the manner in which my
late husband did not specify. I do not 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 bosom of the Almighty.
I do not need any telephone communication in this regard because of my
health and because of the presence of my husband's relatives around me
always. I do not want them to know about this development. With God all
things are possible. As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the
contact of the Finance/Security Company in Europe. I will also issue
you a letter of authority that will empower you as the original beneficiary
of this fund. I want you to always pray for me.
My happiness is that I lived a life worthy of emulation. Whosoever that
wants to serve the Almighty must serve him with all his heart and mind and
soul and also in truth. Please always be prayerful all through your life.
Any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing for an individual for
this same purpose. Please assure me that you will act according to my
specification herein. Hope to hear from you soon. Thank you and May the
Almighty bless you.
Yours sincerely,
Mrs. Sarah Johnson
