Subject: Dearly Beloved in Christ
Dearly 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 right in the sight of God for enternal life and in the
sight of man for witness of God´s mercy and glory upon my
life. I am Mrs Helen P Cole the wife of Mr Vaat P Cole, my
husband worked with the Chevron/Texaco for twenty years
before he died in the year 2003.We were married for
twenty-nine years without a child.
My Husband died after a brief illness that lasted or 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 US $10.5M. (Ten Million and Five Hundred Thousand U.S.
Dollars) with a security company. Presently, this money is
still with the company and the management just wrote me as
the beneficiary to come forward to sign for the release of
this money or rather issue! That somebody to receive it on
my behalf if I can not come over.
I Presently, I'm in a hospital in United Kingdom 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 any
where in the World. 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 and collect the Funds from the Security company.
I want a person that is God fearing that 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 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 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 soundless voice and 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 Security
Company .
Yours in Christ,
Mrs Helen .p. Cole.
