Subject: I need your assistance
Dear Harry,
Calvary Greetings, How are you hope you are keeping healthy,permit me
to ask
you if you are in full time ministerial word? is your ministry into
humaniterian activities? as indicated in the directory where I found
your
contact. Let me hasten to introduce myself as Mrs Mary Gupta ,I
am
married to Mr.Ashok Gupta, an Italian based business man in INDIA,
who
until his death was a timber and and raw matrials export marchant here
in
INDIA. It's a sorrowful thing to say that he died in a fatal motor
accident
alongside with our only son on the 19th of may 2004, while cominig back
from
a business meeting.(God knows best). When my husband was alive,He
deposited
his life's savings (u.s $6.5 million) in a security vault here in INDIA
as
family valuables, with my name as the next of kin.
As God may have it, recently i was diagonised of liver cancer, and the
doctors said i have just six months to live. In view of my condition,
and
the fact that i have nobody to leave this money behind for, knowing
fully
well that my late husband's people are after my life, just because i
converted
their most elderly brother (my husband) to christainity, with the
exception
of my husband people who are not Christains, I decided to donate this
money
to either a living Church or a humaniterian organization/religious
organization that will use this money in propagating the good massage
and
also taking care of the orphans,widows, and the needy generally.( 2Cor:
4:6-18-17 ).
By so doing, I would have susceeded in immortalising the names of my
late
Husband and my only Son. Beloved, though i am sick and dieing, I am not
afraid of death because I know where I am going. My soul has found a
resting
place in the handsome bossom of the lord. Who shall seperate us from
the
love of christ? Shall tribulation, or persecution- -- -Rom 8:28-38 vs
35
As soon as i receive your reply,I will give you the contact of the company
and
all the legal documents that would warrant the transfer of the fund to
you.
Please understand that this massage requires urgency as my ill-health
demands, any delay in your response will give me room to contact other
person, I also want an assurance that you will use this fund for the
purpose
i have stated here. Hope to read from you soon.
Remain blessed
Mrs Mary Gupta.
