Subject: DONATION.
Dearest in Christ,
Greetings in our Lord`s name.
I am Mrs Angela William from Sierra Leone.I am married to Mr. Lobi William Johnson who worked with our Embassy in Ivory Coast for nine years before he died in the year 2004. We were married for eleven years without a child.He died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days. Before his death we were both born again Christian. Since his death I decided not to remarry or get a child outside.
When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of $2.5 Million with a Bank in London. Presently this money is still in the custody of the Bank in London. Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not last for the next Eight months due to cancer and hypertensive problem. Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to a church, organization or a God fearing person that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct herein. I want a church,organization or a God fearing person that will use this money for orphanages,widows and other people that needs help and also propagating the word of God and to endeavor that the house of God is maintained.The Bible made us to understand that" Blessed is the hand that giveth".l took this decision because I don't have any child that will inherit this money and my husband relatives are not Christians not even good at all because they are the people responsible for the death of my husband in other to have all my late
husband properties and I don't want my husband's efforts to be used by those that conspired for his death. This is why I am taking this decision, I am not afraid of death hence I know where I am going. I know that I am going to be in the bosom of the Lord.Exodus 14 VS 14 says that "the lord will fight my case and I shall hold my peace".l know With God all things are possible. As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the Bank in London. I will also issue a letter of authorization to the bank that will prove you the present beneficiary of this money. I also want you, church or the organization to always pray for me because the lord is my only shepherd.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.Contact me on this email address: mrsangelawilliam@excite.com and I want you to promise me that you will use the money as I Stated herein. Hoping to receive your response immediately.
Thanks and Remain blessed in the Lord Jesus.
l remain yours sister in Christ,
Mrs. Angela William.
