Dear Friend,
My name is Mrs Jessica Williams, a south African by origin, but married to a
Nigerian. Chief Frank Johnson , who was murdered during the just concluded
election here in Nigeria.
My husband worked with Nigeria National Petroleum Co-operation in Nigeria as
director of oil exploration for nine years before he was appointed adviser
to the presidency on petroleum matters, a post he held until he was brutally
murdered by the oppossing parties.We were married for eleven years without a
child, before his death we were both born again Christians.
When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of $13 Million (Thirteen
Million U.S. Dollars) This fund, ($13,million us Dollars) is in a security
company.
Presently this money is still with the Security Company. Recently, my Doctor
told me that I might not last for the next Eight months due to an
inflamation of my liver.This has led to my being on 24 hours intensive care,
I am tired of living like this.
I have decided to donate this fund to an individual, church or a charity
organisation that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct
herein.
I want an individual,church or Charity Organisation that will use this fund
for orphanages, widows,and helping land mine victims worldwide.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 situation where my
husband's wealth will be used in an ungodly way.
This is why I am taking this decision. I am not afraid of death since 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".
As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact name of my
lawyer ,telephone number and email address who will issue you a letter of
authority that will prove you the present beneficiary of this fund.I want
you and the church 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 your life.Contact me on the above email address.
Any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing another
church/individual for this same purpose. Please assure me that you will act
accordingly as I Stated herein.
Hoping to receive your reply.
Remain blessed in the Lord.
Yours in Christ,
Mrs Jessica Williams
