Subject: BEKIND FROM SANDRINE PLEASE

trunk box containing the funds at the company. Recently i was diagonised with cancer and stroke problems. Having known of this my bad condition, i could not actualize our dreams of starting missionary works which i intend to carry on with after the demise of my husband on earth as a result of
death. Now i want to bring your attention to this task after learning about you through the international data. I was convinced of your profiles and capability in using the aforementioned funds as i state herein in propagating charity and humanitarian services. I took this decision for a number
of reasons.

1. This funds has been gifted to charity by my husband and it has to be respected.

2. I do not have a child to inherit this funds.

3. My relatives are not christians and i do not want this funds to be used in an ungodly ways.


I am not afraid of death or what i'm passing through for in Exodus 14verse14 the Lord says that"He will fight my case and i shall hold my peace. In Job 5verse12 He says that "He disappointed the devices of the crafty that their hands can not perform their enterprise. I have my confidence and
trust in the lord.With Him all things are possible. I do not need any telephone communication in this regard because of my health and the presence of my relatives who are always around me and whom i do not want to intimate of this development. Whoever wants to serve the lord must serve Him in
truth and in spirit. As soon as i receive your reply i will advice you on the next step in the retrievating and transferring of this funds to your destination for urgent charity works.

Any delay in your contacting me will give me room in sourcing another Godly person for this same purposes. Please assure me that you will act accordingly as i stated herein in this letter and dear in christ do always remember me in your prayers.

Thanks and God bless.
Mrs.Sandrine Kwaku.
