Subject: DONATION FROM SISTER CATHY WAYLAND
Dearest In Christ,
I am Sister Cathy Wayland from Kuwait. I am married to
Mr. Charles Wayland who worked with Kuwait embassy in
Nigeria for nine years before he died in the year
2003.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 Christian.
Since his death I decided not to remarry or get a child
outside my matrimonial home which the Bible is against.
When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of
$2.Million in a fixed deposit account here in Nigeria.
Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not last for the
next Eight months due to cancer problem. Having known my
condition I decided to donate this fund to a church that
will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct
herein.
I want a church that will use this fund for rphanages,
widows, propagating the word of God and to endeavor 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
efforts to be used by unbelievers.
I don't want a situation where this money will be used in
an ungodly way. This is why I am taking this decision.
I am not afraid of death hence I know where I am going. I
know that I am going to be in the bosom 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 hence 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 in
Nigeria. I will also issue you an authorisation letter
that will prove you the present 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.Contact
me on my email any delay in your reply will give me room
in sourcing another church for this same purpose. Please
assure me that you will act accordingly as I Stated
herein. Hoping to receive your reply.
Remain blessed in the Lord.
Yours in Christ,
Sister Cathy Wayland
