Subject: Peace and Goodness !

Dear Beloved Adalwin Beckenzer ,

Peace and Goodness !

Sorry for the late responce. I am very grateful to the risen Lord for the
grace He has given us to start communicating to one another through this
great wonderful and gracious gift to you from the blessed memory of the Late
Sir Edward Heath. How are you doing with your activities today ? I'll
continue remembering you in my daily prayers from St.Amselm.

Adalwin ,I know that this Bequest news may be quite surprising and
astonishing to you, sure we cannot outdo our God in His surprises: He is a
God of Surprises.As I did said in my previous email massage, Sir Edward must
have been in contact with you in the past or you must have been nominated
to him by one of his numerous friends here or abroad that wished you well
and as a Child of God that has been of help to the people of God, this is
the Lord's doing and we don't have to say or do anything than to say
"Alleluia" to the risen Lord and glorify his marvelous name.

Dear beloved,I believe as a servant of the Lord that the hour of God's
remembrance has come upon your life and destiny,just to give you a little
brief about the Late Sir Edward R.G Heath,Sir Heath was a very kind and well
popular great Philanthropist a Honorable and a dedicated Child of God whom
loved to reach out to the less privileged, his support to the Church here in
Manchester is ever fresh in our memories,I could remember in our last
discussion before the Lord called him on 17th July 2005, he said" Fr.
William I know when the Lord sends a man to work is his vine yard he will
provide him a man to support him" Sir Heath is a great help and support to
us here in england.


With gratitute to God for a life well spent and with total submission to the
will of God I pray May his gentle Soul Rest in Perfect Peace "Amen".

Beloved,if every human on earth will only sit and focus on our creator and
his promises then will it done on us that he cannot fail us because he is
not man, I am assuring you that by the grace of the risen Lord, I as a
servant of the Lord and also a Member of the Board of Trustees to execute
this estate,I will make sure that this fund reaches you and I want you to
assure me also that you as a(Steward) to this Bequest fund will utilize it
to accomplishing the (Will) of Sir Heath in helping the less privileged ones
I mean the "have-nots" in your community and also to propagate the work of
the Gospel in your Country .

I also wish to inform you that I have forwarded your e-mail to the Board of
Trustees and they have instructed Mr. John Edward (Esq.) the Lawyer
executing this (Will) to contact you with more information concerning this
endowment grant to you, in no distant time Mr.John (Esq.), will be reaching
you. Please do feel free to correspond with him and do not forget to be

bodies a
living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual
service of worship.
