FROM Melanie Reininger
PLOT 765 STRAWS LAND WAY,
P.M.B 87006 VICTORIA ISLAND,
LAGOS,NIGERIA.
Dear ,
I am the above named person from Kuwait. I am married to Dr. Alfred
Reininger,who worked with United Kingdom Embassy in Nigeria 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. Since his death, I decided not to re-marry or get a
child outside my matrimonial home, which the Holy book is against. When my
late husband was alive he deposited the sum of $12.000.00 (Twelve
Million US Dollars) with a Reserve/ Security company.Presently this money is
still under the safe keeping of the Reserve /Security company abroad
in London United Kingdom.
Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not last for the next three
months due to my cancer problems.Though what disturbs me most is my
stroke. Having known my condition, I decided to donate this fund to an
organization or better still a God fearing individual that will utilize
this money the way I am going to instruct here in.
I want a fellow that will use this fund on, orphanages and widows
propagating the word of God and to ensure that the house of God is
maintained. The Holy book made us to understand that blessed is the
hand that gives. I took this decision because I don?t have any child that
will inherit this money and my husband 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 reasons for taking this bold 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 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 health and also
because of the presence of my husband?s relatives around me always.
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 personal information to my lawyer so that he will start
processing of the legal documents that will make you to be able to
make
the funds claim 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 as
the original-beneficiary of this fund.I want you and your family to
always pray for me because God is been so good to me. My happiness is
that I
lived worthy life as a God fearing person.
Whoever that wants to serve the Lord must serve
him in spirit and truth.Please always be prayerful all through your
life.
Please assure me that you 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 this transaction,Personal contact as to get in touch 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.
My Very Best Regards
Mrs Melanie Reininger
