Subject: GREETINGS FROM YOUR SISTER IN CHRIST I NEED YOUR KIND ASSISTANCE
My Dear Good Friend,
Please read very carefully, It is with tears that I am writing this
message to you from a hospital bed where I have no mother,father,
sister , brother or any relative, in the midst of my enemy.
I am Mrs Helen Jonathan oliko.. A widow to late Mr. Jonathan Oliko, who
worked with Elf Petroleum Company in France for nine years before he
died in the year 2002. 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 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 $18.5 Million with a Bank in Benin Republic Presently this money
is still in the custody of the Bank in Benin .
Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not last for the next Eight
months due to cancer problem, but I know that my doctor is not God.
Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to a Church,
Organisation or good person that will utilize this money the way I am
going to instruct herein.
I want a Church, Organisation or good person that will use this fund
for Orphanages, Widows and other peoples that need help and also
propagating the word of God and to endeavours 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 relatives are not Christians not even good at
all because they are the one that are responsible for the death of my
husband in other to have all my late husband properties and I don't want
my husband's effort to be used by those that conspired for his death or
for ungodly things.
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 bosoms 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 hence the presences of my husband's relatives are
around me always. I don't want them to know about this development and I
know that with God all things are possible to those who trust in Him and
to those who work by faith. As soon as I received your reply I shall
give you the contact of the Bank in Benin .
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
Organization to always pray for me because the Lord is my only Shephard.
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 through your life.
Contact me on this and any delay in your reply will give me room in
sourcing another good person, church or organization for this same
purpose. Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated
herein. Hoping to receive your response immediately,
Thanks and Remain blessed in the Lord.
I remain yours sister in Christ.
Mrs Helen Jonathan oliko.
