From: Mrs.Mary Peters,
Dear Friend,
I am the above named person but now undergoing medical treatment for cancer
now.I am married to Dr. George Peters.
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 bothborn
again Christians. 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$7.5Million (seven Million Five hundred
thousand U.S. Dollars) with one finance company in Europe.
Presently,this money is still with the Security Company. Recently, my Doctor
told me that I would not last for the next three months due to cancer
problem.Though what disturbs me most is my stroke. Having known my condition
I decided to donate this fund to church or better still a Christian
individual that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct here
in.
I want a church or individual that will use this to fund churches,orphanage
sand 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 relatives are not Christians and I don't
want my husbands 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 hence I
know where I am going. I know that I am going to be in thebosom 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 because of the presence of my husbands 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 shall give you the
contact of the Finance/Security Company Europe.
I will also issue you a letter of authority that will empower you as the
original- beneficiary of this fund. I want you and the church to always pray
for me because the lord is my 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.
Any delay in your reply will give me room in sousing for a church or
Christian individual for this same purpose. Please assure me that you will
act Accordingly as I stated herein. Hoping to hear from you.
Remain blessed in the name of the Lord,His Love.
I await your response.
Regards and God Bless.
Mrs. Mary Peters
