Subject: Dear Beloved in Christ
Dear Beloved in Christ,
It is by the grace of God that I received Christ, having known the
truth; I had no choice than to do what is lawful and just in the sight of
God for eternal life and in the sight of man for witness of God & His
Mercies and glory upon my life.
I am Mrs. Mary Parker,the wife of Mr.Robert Parker,both of us are
citizens of the united state of America. my husband worked with the
Chevron/Texaco in Russia for twenty years before he died in the year 2003.We
were married for ten years without a child. My Husband died after a
brief illness that lasted for only four days. Before his death we both got
born-again as dedicated Christians. Since his death I decided not to
re-marry or get a child outside my matrimonial home which the Bible is
strongly against. When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of
7.5 Million Euro (Seven Million Five Hundred Thousand Euro) with a Bank
in Europe.
Presently, this money is still with the Bank and the management just
wrote me as the beneficiary that our account has been DORMANT and if I,
as the beneficiary of the funds, do not re-activate the account; the
funds will be CONFISCATED or I rather issue a letter of authorization to
somebody to receive it on my behalf (note that you need to activate this
account) as I can not come over. Presently, I'm in a hospital in Russia
where I have been undergoing treatment for esophageal cancer. I have
since lost my ability to talk and my doctors have told me that I have
only a few weeks to live. It is my last wish to see this money distributed
to charity organizations and NGO anywhere in the World in helping human
race.
Because relatives and friends have plundered so much of my wealth since
my illness, I cannot live with the agony of entrusting this huge
responsibility to any of them. Please, I beg you in the name of God to help
me Stand-in as the beneficiary and collect the Funds from the Bank.
I want a person that is God-fearing who will use this money 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's 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 since I know where I am going to. 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
soundless voice and presence of my husband's relatives around me always. I
don't want them to know about this development.
I await your quick response to this mail as this is my last wish to see
this funds transferred before my Death.
Remain Blessed
Your Sister in Christ,
Mrs. Mary Parker
