Subject: YOUR HONEST ASSISTANCE IS NEEDED (REPLY URGENTLY PLEASE)
USE THIS FUNDS TO HELP THE POOR PEOPLE, WHETHER CHRISTIANS OR NOT
From: Mrs. ESTHER ALEX
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am the above named person but presently undergoing medical treatment. I am married to Dr.Johnson Alex who worked with South Africa embassy in Malaysia 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$27.6Million (Twenty-seven million six hundred thousand U.S. Dollars) with one finance/security company in the United Kingdom and a certain amount in Europe. However, I do not know exactly how much is in Europe as I was not made the beneficiary.
Presently, this money is still with the Security Company. Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not last for the next three 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 or
unwholesome 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 course 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 Finance/Security Company in UK. I will also issue you a letter of authority that will empower you as the original- beneficiary of this 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 truth. Please 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.
Remain blessed in the name of the Lord,
Mrs. ESTHER ALEX
NOTE: If you have happened not to be a christain and you know yourself very well that you are a honest person, and can make this fund available to the less privileged, handicaps, orphans etc that might not even be christains, please, do not hesitate to contact me for this assistance. You shall be rewared immersely.
