Subject: I NEED YOUR HELP FROM MRS MARY OBA
MRS. MARY OBA
PLOT 765 WATER FRONT BOSTON HOUSE PMB
87006 VICTORIA ISLAND,
LAGOS NIGERIA,
Dear,
I am the above named person from South Africa. I am married to
Dr.Kazeem OBA, who worked with Kuwait embassy in Nigeria for nine
yearsbeforehe diein the year 2003. We were married for eleven
yearswithout a child.
He died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days.
Beforehisdeath we were both born again Christians. Since his death
Idecided notto re-marry or get a child outside my matrimonial home,
which the Bible is against.When my late husband was alive he deposited
the sum of$12
Million(Twelve Million U.S.Dollars) with a Reserve / Security
company.Presently, this money is still under the safe keeping of
theReserve/Security company.
Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not last for the
nextthreemonths due to my cancer problems. Though what disturbs me
most is mystroke.
Having known my condition, Idecided to donate this fund to
anorganization or better still a God fearing individual that
willutilize this money the way I am going to instruct here in.I want a
fellow that will use this fund on, orphanages and widowspropagating
the word of God and to ensure that the house of God ismaintained.The
Bible made us to understand that blessed is the handthat giveth. I
took this decision because I don?t have any child that willinherit
this money and my husband relatives are not Christians and Idon?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
ungodlymanner. Hence the reasons for taking thisbold decision.
I am not afraid of death hence I know where I am going. I know that I
am going to be in the blossom of the Lord. Exodus 14 VS 14 says
thatthe lord will fight my case and I shall hold my peace.I dont need
any telephone communication in this regard because of my health
because of the presence of my husband?s relatives around mealways.I
don?t want them to know about this development.With God all things are
possible.As soon as I receive your reply I will forward your
personalinformation to my lawyer and the security company so that they
willcontact you as the legal owner of this fund before transferring
the fund into your nominated Bank Account in your country.
I will also issue you a letter of authority that will empower you
asthe original-beneficiary of this fund.I want you and your family to
always pray for me because the lord is myshepherd.My happiness is that
I lived worthy life as a God fearingperson. Whoever that wants to
serve the Lordmustserve him in spiritand truth.
Please always be prayerful all through your life.Please assure me
thatyou will act accordingly as I stated here in.Once I hear from you
I will give to you a lawyer that I have contacted to take care of
thistransaction,personal contact as to get intouch with him and know
what is required of you, as to be able to do the needed.
Hoping to hear from you as soon as possible.
Remain blessed in the name of God the most High.
My Very Best Regards,
Mrs. Mary Oba
