Dearly Beloved
A member of my small congregation read of your plight and passed on the information to me Pastor Ised. He asked if our church could help you in any way.
First of all we prayed for your safe deliverance from your illness .... please join us in our prayers
O MARY, conceived without stain, pray for us who fly thee. Refuge of sinners, Mother of those who are in their agony, leave us not in the hour of our death, but obtain for us perfect sorrow, sincere contrition, remission of our sins, a worthy reception of the most holy Viaticum, the strengthening of the Sacrament of Extreme Unction, so that we may be able to stand with safety before the throne of the just but merciful Judge, our God and our Redeemer. Amen.
and that if God so wills it your safe deliverance into his arms ....
GOD, WHO hast doomed all men to die, but hast concealed from all the hour of their death, grant that I may pass my days in the practice of holiness and justice, and that I may deserve to quit this world in the peace of a good conscience, and in the embraces of Thy love. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
Psalm 30, verse 6. I N MANUS tuas, Domine, commendo spiritum meum.
and finally an invocation to Our Blessed Virgin Mary our church's patron and guiding spirit ....
O DOMINA mea! O Mater mea! Memento me esse tuum. Serva me, defende me, ut rem et possessionem tuam.
MY QUEEN! My Mother! Remember I am thine own. Keep me, guard me, as thy property and possession.
Our small congregration operate a charity by the grace of Our Lord, we raise funds by collections and donations from our members and appeals to those of greater wealth wishing to donate to worthy Christian causes.
The more money we can raise the more money we can give to those in need. We especially like to fund Christian churches, missions, homes for single mothers and orphaned children throughout Africa so that we may spread the word of God and the love of The Blessed Virgin Mary. We will be only to happy to make any donations in your name with a full dedication to you should you wish to give us any money, no matter how small. We are also happy to receive requests for donations from pastors and other lay persons needing help to do their work in the name of God and The Most Holy Mother The Blessed Virgin Mary.
May the good Lord bless you and keep you safe
your brother in prayer
Pastor Robert Ised
Gaudium cum pace, emendationem vitae, spatium verae poenitentiae, gratiam et consolationem Sancti Spiritus, perseverantiam in bonis operibus, tribuat nobis omnipotens et misericors Dominus. Amen.
May joy and peace, amendment of life, room for true penitence, the grace and comfort of the Holy Ghost, and steadfastness in good works be granted us by the almighty and merciful Lord. Amen.

Lord, I pray not for me but hear my prayers for this sinner. Amen

Thank you for your prayer.I have given up hope of living ,at least not a healthy life again.However,I am old and I will pss on very soon.Do not bother about praying for my life again ,just pray for the living and more importantly for those abandoned children in the street of Africa.I also want ou to pray that god will flush all the Fake pastors who are using the name of God to make moneyespecially in America.

Now that my days are numbered.We should concentrate in geting this money out of the bank through your ministry while I am still alive..As a result of this ,Because of the amount involved.I want to make sure that whom ever that I am going to give the Power of Attorney to receive this money as a beneficiary/manager ,is a person who will be able to manage the fund.

Secondly ,the person must have a good financial standing to be able to receive this amount in his company or in your case Ministry account .You know the money is in Europe , and it is a big amount of money.The bankers there are very meticulous.I also know a Lawyer there in london who has done some work for my husband in the past.He will assist you.

What I want is for you to first ,give me a little brief of yourself,your church/ministry and background.Give me your name ,address,phone and fax,with a scan copy of your international passport.

I will use this information to draft a letter which i will sign and send to the bank in Europe.I will also send a copy to the Lawyer in Europe ,and send a copy to you.Then you will contact the lawyer to give you full assistance.If need be ,you will travel to meet him face to face for the execution of the WILL

every thing must go fast because i do not know what could happen to me any moment.My health is not good.I pray that I will be alive to comfirm that this money is being used for the purpose i will WILL it to you.The details will be defined in my Letter to the Lawyer.

I need an urgent response

Thanks
Madam Marry Joy Anu
