Subject: Dear Beloved One
Dear,
PLEASE ENDEAVOUR TO USE IT FOR THE CHILDREN OF GOD.
I am the above named person from Abidjan but now undergoing
medical treatment.I am married to Dr. George Mark who worked
with Abidjan embassy in West Africa for nine years before he
died in the year 2000.We were married for eleven years
without a child. He died after a brief illness that lasted
for only four days. Before his death we were both born again
Christians.Since his death I decided not to re-marry or get
a child outside my matrimonial home which the Bible is
against.When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum
of$1.2Million (One Million two hundred thousand U.S.
Dollars) with one now in the custody of a BANK here in
Abidjan to your Bank. Recently, my Doctor told me that I
would not last for the next couple of months due to cancer
problem.
Though what disturbs me most is my stroke.Having known my
condition I decided to donate this fund to church or better
still a christian individual that will utilize this money
the way I am going to instruct here in. I want a church or
individual that will use this 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 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 hence I know where I am
going. I know that I am going to be in the bossom of the
Lord.Exodus 14 VS 14 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 health,and
because of the 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.
As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact
of the Bank To empower you as the original- beneficiary of
this fund,and as such you will act in full capacity to any
deed of instrument as regards to the deposited fund. I want
you and the church to always pray for me because the lord is
my shephard. My happiness is that I lived a life of a worthy
Christian.
Whoever that wants to serve the Lord must serve him in
spirit and truthPlease always be prayerful all through your
life. Any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing
for a church or christian individual for this same purpose.
Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated
herein. Hoping to hear from you a.s.a.p.
Remain blessed in the name of the Lord.
Yours in Christ,
Mrs Vivian Mark.
