Subject: Am Looking For A Trust-Worthy Person
DEAR BELOVED ONE,
From Jocelyn Owen.
I am Jocelyn Owen from the United States. I was married to late Brian J. Owen of blessed memory, we’ve live in South Africa for the past twelve years prior to his death in the year 2003. The marriage was blessed with a child; my husband died after a brief illness that lasted only four days.
Since his death I have been battling with cancer and fibroid problems. When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of ($10.5Million U.S. Dollars only) with a security company South Africa, Recently my doctor informed me that I have less than three months to live due to the cancer.
Having known my condition, I have decided to donate this fund to either a charity organization, a devoted Christian individual or God fearing person that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct.
I want these individual or God-fearing persons to use the money with all sincerity to fund orphanages, widows and also propagating the word of God. The Word of God emphasizes so much on God’s benevolence. I took this decision because my son has inherited a sizeable estate upon his father’s death, and my husband’s relatives are not God fearing and I don't want a situation where this money will be used in an unholy manner. Hence the reasons for taking this bold decision.
I know that after death, I will be with God the most beneficent and most merciful. I don't need any telephone communication in this regard, because of my health, and with the presence of my husband’s relatives, I don't want them to know about this development. With God all things are possible.
Contact my son Roxy Owen at roxyrossman@netzero.com he shall give you the contact of the security company in South Africa where the funds was deposited for safekeeping. He’ll issue an order of authority to the security company on my behalf, authorizing them that the said funds have being willed to you and a copy of such authorization will be forwarded to you. I want you and the believers / community where you reside to always pray for me.
Whosoever, that wants to serve God must serve him in truth and fairness. Please always be prayerful all through your life. You will have 20% out of the total amount for all your time to carry out this dream and to cover whatever expenditures to claim this money. Until I hear from you today unfailingly, my dream will rest squarely on your shoulders. May the Almighty God continue to guide and protect us.
Best regards.
Mrs. Blessing Owen
