Subject: BENEVOLENCE ASSISTANCE
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 Dr, DONNIE WILSON the Husband of MRS.ALEXANDRA WILSON, my Wife
worked with the Chevron/Texaco in Kenya for twenty years before she
died in the year 2003. We were married for ten years without a child. My Wife
died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days. Before her death
we both got born-again and dedicated Christians. Since her death I decided
not to re-marry or get a child outside my matrimonial home which the Bible
is strongly against. When my late Wife was alive we jiontly deposited the
sum of US$32.850 Million (Thirty - Two Million, Eight Hundred and Fifty 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 rather issue a letter of
authorization to somebody to receive it on my behalf (note that you
need to activate this account) as I can not come over.
Presently, I'm in an hospital 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 financial institution.
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 wife's relatives are
not Christians and I don't want our 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 wife'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:
donwils@virgilio.it
Your Brother in Christ.
Dr. DONNIE WILSON
