Subject: IN GOOD FAITH
Dear 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 United Kingdom 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 £ 17.5
Million (Seventeen Million Five Hundred Thousand Pounds) with a Bank
in United Kingdom. Presently, this money is still with the Bank and
the management just wrote me as the beneficiary that our account has
been DORMANTand 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 can not come over.
Presently, I'm in a hospital in the UK 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
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, 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
giveth. I took this decision because I don't have any child that will
inherit this money and my husband's 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.Awaiting your
urgent reply via my email address:maryparker_family007@yahoo.co.uk
With God all things are possible.
Your Sister in Christ,
Mrs. Mary Parker
