Subject: I NEED YOUR SINCERITY!
GREETINGS,
My name is Mrs. MARY ERIC a 65yrs old lady. I am a cancer
patient
and a nationality of Kuwait. I am married to Mr. JOHN ERIC
who worked
with Kuwait embassy in SWITZERLAND for nine years before he
died in an
automobile crash in December 1999. We were married for
eleven years
without a child.Before his death we were devoted Christians.
When my
late husband was alive we protected our assets of $USD 2
Million through the purchase of a life insurance policy
(Swiss variable annuities) from a Swiss life insurance
company. I was irrevocably designates as beneficiaries of
the policy.
The purpose of this investment was to safe our principal
capital and
make use of accrues income from the annuities for our upkeep
since the
principal fund and the accrued interest are exempt from
Swiss taxes
under Swiss law.But unfortunately he dies.Recently, my
Doctor told me
that I would not last long due to my cancer problem. Though
what
disturbs me most is my stroke.I developed this sickness as a
result of the sudden shock and hearth attack I had when the
breaking news came to me on that faithful day that my
husband was involved in an auto crash and died at the spot
in the city of Zurich in December 1999.
Having known my condition I decided to liquidate these
assets and
donate this fund with all the accrued interests to church or
better
still a Christian individual that will utilize this money
the way I am
going to instruct here in. I want an individual that will
use this fund
to churches,Orphanages,Research centers and widows,
propagating the
word of God and to ensure that the house of God is
maintained.
I took this bold decision because I don't have any child
that will
inherit this money and my husband's relatives are of
questionable
characters and are not Christians. They have been persuasive
and
inquisitive to know where we have invested our funds but I
cannot
reveal this to them.And I don't want my hard earned money to
be misused
by unbelievers and I would dislike a situation where this
money will be
used in an ungodly manner.
Hence the reasons for taking this bold decision. Because of
their
selfish threat I have ordered the Swiss insurance company to
transfer
my fund to the security vault of its subsidiary company in
Nigeria
pending when I will find a good Christian believer whom I
shall entrust
the fund unto to help me carried out my wishes.
I am not afraid of death hence I know where I am going and
everyone is
entitling to death. I know that I am going to be in the
bosom of the
Lord. Exodus. I need to make heaven, I don?t want to perish
in hell
fire.As my level of Christianity was increasing, I
understood that the
wealth of sinners are acquired for the just. God opened my
eyes to the
book of Ecclesiastes 6,verses 1 & 2. Read this scriptures
and you will
understand that there are people in this world that God gave
the grace
to acquire wealth yet God did not give them the grace to
enjoy the
wealth.I happened to fall into the same category now it is
the wish of
God. When God revealed to me to use my wealth to do His
work, I
understood that God was testing me like He tested Abraham
and other men of God. Abraham needed children and God asked
him to use his only son for sacrifice, Abraham was
faithful.He obeyed and God made him father of many nations.I
have decided to sow this total sum into your
ministry/organisation.
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 and for the presence of my late Husband
relatives around
me always. I don't want them to know about this development.
With God
all things are possible.I have briefed my attorney about
this
development. As soon as I receive your reply I shall give
you the contact of my attorney, In Nigeria where the funds
has been deposited to issue you power of authority and
other documents that would enable you to lay claim of the
fund from the security company in Nigeria.I want you and the
church to always pray for me.
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 other people for this same
purpose.
Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated
here.
Expecting to hearing from you.
Remain blessed in the name of the Lord.
Yours in Christ,
Mrs. MARY ERIC.
