Subject: Mrs. Mary Parker.
Dear Beloved in Christ,
It is by the grace of God that I received Christ, having known the truth; I
had no choice than to do what is lawful and just in the sight of God for
eternal life and in the sight of man for witness of God & His Mercies and
glory upon my life.
I am Mrs. Mary Parker, the wife of Mr. Robert Parker, my husband worked with
the Chevron/Texaco in Kenya for twenty years before he died in the year
2003. We were married for ten years without a child. My Husband died after a
brief illness that lasted for only four days. Before his death we both got
born-again and dedicated Christians. Since his death I decided not to
re-marry or get a child outside my matrimonial home which the Bible is
strongly against. When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of
US$7.5 Million (Seven Million Five Hundred Thousand U.S. Dollars) with a
Bank in Europe. Presently, this money is still with the Bank and the
management just wrote me as the beneficiary that our account has been
DORMANT and if I, as the beneficiary of the funds do not re-activate the
account; the funds will be CONFISCATED or I should rather issue a letter of
delegated authority to someone who can act in my stead if my health makes it
impossible for me to do so.
Presently, I'm in a hospital in Kenya where I have been undergoing treatment
for esophageal cancer. I have since lost my ability to talk and my doctors
have told me that I have only a few weeks to live. It is my last wish to see
this money distributed to charity organizations anywhere in the World.
Because relatives and friends have plundered so much of my wealth since my
illness, I cannot live with the agony of entrusting this huge responsibility
to any of them. Please,
Please, I beg you in the name of God to help me Stand-in as the beneficiary
and collect the Funds from the Bank.
I want a person that is God-fearing who will use this money to fund
churches, orphanages and widows propagating the word of God and to ensure
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's relatives are not
Christians and I don't want my husband's hard earned money to be misused by
unbelievers. I don't 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 since I know where I am going to.
I know that I am going to be in the bosom of the Lord. {Exodus14 VS14} says
that the lord will fight my case and I shall hold my peace. I don't need any
telephone communication in this regard because of my soundless voice and
presence of my husband's relatives around me always. I don't want them to
know about this development.
With God all things are possible.
Beloved one, please send all replies to my other
email:maryparker000@yahoo.co.uk
Your Sister in Christ,
Mrs. Mary Parker.
