Subject: God bless you,Mrs Beatrice Britt
It is by the grace of God that I received Christ,having known the
truth,I had no
choice than to do what is
lawful and right in the sight of God for eternal life and in the sight
of man
for witness of God & his
mercies and glory upon my life.
I am Mrs.Beatrice Britt the wife of Mr.Fredricks Britt,my husband
worked with
the Chevron/Texaco in
Netherland for twenty years before he died in the year 2004.We were
married for
ten years without a
child.My Husband died after a brief illness that lasted for only four
days.Before his death we were both
born again Christians.
Since his death I decided not to re-marry or get a child outside my
matrimonial
home which the Bible is
aga inst.When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of
US$4.5M.(Eight Million Five
Hundred Thousand U.S.Dollars) with a Bank in Europe. Presently,this
money is
still with the Bank and
the management just wrote me as the beneficiary to come forward to
sign for the
release of this money
or rather issue a letter of authorization to somebody to receive it on
my behalf
if I can not come over.
Presently,I'm in a hospital in Mauella Hospital Netherland where I have
been
undergoing treatment for
esophageal cancer.I have since lost my ability to talk and my doctors
have told
me that I have only a few
weeks to live.It is my last wish to see this money distributed to
charity
organizations anywhere in the
World.Because relatives and friends have plundered so much of my
wealth since my
illness,I cannot live
with the agony of entrusting this huge responsibility to any of them.
Please,I beg you in the name of God to help me Stand and collect the
Funds from
the Security Company.
I want a person that is God fearing that will use this money to fund
churches,orphanages and 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's 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 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
the bosom
of the Lord.
Exodus {14 VS14} 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 m y soundless voice
and
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 shall give you the contact of the
security
company in England so that
you can contact them directly for the release of the funds to you ..
Kindly send your reply to my private email address which is as
