May God be Praised!!!
Mrs. Grace Pearl Johnson
26 Kesington Court,
London, England.
Dear Friend,
I am the above named person undergoing medical treatment in London,
England. I am married to Dr.Martins Smith Johnson who
worked with British Railway Commission in Chelsea England for over
three decades before he died on 5th of July in the year
2003. We were married for fifteen years without a child. He died after
a brief illness that lasted for two weeks. Before his
death, he made a vow to use his wealth for the down trodden and the
less privileged in the society.And since his death,I have
been trying to get someone I can trust to help me execute his
wish,hence my sending you this mail. When my late husband was alive, he
deposited the sum of ($10.9 million dollars) in a Vault with a Security/Finance
House in London and it is still with them till date. Recently, my
Doctor told me that I have a very short time to live due to cancer related
problems but what disturbs me most though,is the stroke I had recently.
Having known my condition, I decided to donate this fund to an
individual or better still a God fearing person who will utilize this money in
the way I am going to instruct herein. I want an individual that will
use this to fund and provide succor to poor and indigent persons,
orphanages, and above all those affected in the Tsunami disaster in far
Asia, the hurricane victims in the US and earthquake victims in Pakistan.
I understand that blessed is the hand that giveth; I took this decision
because I do not have any child that will inherit
this money and my husband's relatives are not inclined to helping poor
persons and I do not want my husband's hard earned
money to be misused or spent in the manner in which my late husband did
not specify. I do not 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 be with GOD.I know that I am going to be in
the bosom of the Almighty. I do not 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
do not 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
Security/Finance House in London. I will also issue them
a letter of authority and change of ownership certificate,that will
empower you as the original beneficiary of this fund,
through my Lawyer. I want you to always pray for me. My happiness is
that I lived a life worthy of emulation.Whosoever that
wants to serve the Almighty must serve him with all his heart and mind
and soul and also in truth.
Please always be prayerful all through your life. Any delay in your
reply will give me room in sourcing for another
individual for this same purpose. Please assure me that you will act
according to my instructions herein.
Hoping to hear from you.
Thank you and may the Almighty bless you.
Yours sincerely,
Mrs. Grace Pearl Johnson
God bless you
