Subject: Your Faithfulness Required.
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 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, my husband worked with
the Chevron/Texaco in Kenya 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 and 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
US$13.5 Million (Thirteen Million Five Hundred Thousand U.S. Dollars) 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 cannot come over.
Presently, I am in a hospital in Kenya where I have been undergoing
treatment for oesophageal 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 anywhere 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-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 gives. I took this
decision because I don’t have any child that will inherit this money and my
husbands 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 bosom of the Lord.
{Exodus14 VS14} 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.
With God all things are possible.
Beloved one, please send all replies to my other email:
mrsmaryparker101@hotmail.com
Sincere Sister in Christ,
Mrs. Mary Parker
