Calvary greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, I am Mrs Monica

Dubem, a widow to Late Edward Dubem, I am 62years old, now a new Christian convert,suffering

from long time cancer of the breast.From all indications, my condition is serious and according

to my doctor it is quite obvious that I may not survive the sickness,although as a

christain,I beleive God and I know that I will not die,I will live to

declare the glory of God. My late husband and my only son were killed during the Ogoni

Crisis some years back and I am presently Leaving with some domestic

staffers,Our Lord Jesus Christ is my comforter.



I have the sum of $15,000,000.(fifyteen million US Dollars)The fund is

in cash, packaged in consignments deposited with a finance company for

safety and security reasons Presently all the documents concerning the consignments are with my

lawyer.Now that my sickness has gone to this stage,I am scared i might die any time therefore wish that the

fund be used to the glory of God .



This money is the procceed from the sale of properties and shares and

physical cash i inherited from my late husband.I have prayed and I told

God to direct me to an honest christian who will receive this fund and utilise it

for things that will glorify the name of God. After my prayers,I searched the christain

sites/businees site in the internet,I found your email address

and I decided to contact you.Please if you are honest and faithful

enough to use this fund strictly for the work of

God.



Please your response is highly needed to enable my lawyer make

arrangement with the finance company on how the consignments that contained the fund will be

delivered/transfer to you.



Thanks and God bless you while waiting to hear from

you.



Mrs Monica Dubem.
