Subject: DEAR BELOVED IN CHRIST
DEAR BELOVED IN CHRIST
GREETING IN THE NAME OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST. I AM MRS. KATRINA HILLBERG, A
WIDOW TO LATE STYVE ANI. I AM 61 YEARS OLD, I AM A CHRISTA IN CONVERT,
SUFFERING FROM LONG TIME CANCER OF THE BREAST, FROM ALL INDICATION MY
CONDITIONS IS REALLY DETERIORATING AND IT IS QUITE OBVIOUS THAT I MAY NOT
LIVE UP TO THREE MONTHS, ACCORDING TO MY DOCTORS, THIS IS BECAUSE THE CANCER
STAGE HAS GOTTEN TO IT'S EXTREME STAGE.
MY HUSBAND DIED IN 1987, AND DURING THE PERIOD OF OUR MARRIAGE WE COULDN'T
BEAR A CHILD. MY LATE HUSBAND HAPPENS TO BE A VERY SUCCESSFUL INDUSTRIALIST
AND AFTER HIS DEATH, I INHERITED HIS BUSINESS EMPIRE. IN VIEW OF THIS
AILMENT, I HAVE BEFORE HAND DISTRIBUTED MOST OF THE MONEY I HAVE ACQUIRED TO
THE DEVELOPMENT/BUILDING OF THE CHURCHES AND MOTHERLESS BABY HOMES, ALL OVER
THE WORLD.
THIS VERY PROJECT HAS BEEN SUCCESSFULLY ACHIEVED WITH THE HELP OF SOME GOD
FEARING FELLOWS WHOM I ENTRUSTED THESE PROJECT'S IN THEIR HANDS, AND I AM
HAPPY TO SAY THAT THEY ALL DID TREMENDOUSLY WELL.
NOW, I HAVE LEFT IN A SECURITY COMPANY THE SUM OF $8.5,000.000.00 MD U.S
DOLLARS, WHICH I TAUGHT I COULD FALL BACK ON, SHOULD IN CASE I SURVIVED THIS
AILMENT, BUT AFTER MY LAST MEDICAL REPORT WHICH CAME OUT ON FRIDAY LAST
WEEK,
I HAVE NOW MADE UP MY MIND, TO DONATE THE SAME SUM (US$8.5MILLION) TO THE
SAME
COURSE.
I WILL LIKE THIS VERY ONE TO BE DONE IN YOUR COUNTRY (OWN PART OF THE
WORLD),
AND I WILL LIKE YOU TO BE THE EXECUTOR OF THE PROJECT. AFTER THE NORMAL
DOCUMENTATIONS HAS BEEN PUT IN PLACE BY A LAWYER, THE MONEY (US$9,500,
000.00)WILL BE TRANSFERRED TO YOUR BANK ACCOUNT, AND I WILL WANT YOU TO
SPEND
IT JUDICIOUSLY FOR IT'S PURPOSE.
IF YOU INDICATE INTEREST IN EM-BACKING ON THIS PROJECT, PLEASE KINDLY GET
BACK
TO ME AS SOON AS POSSIBLE IN OTHER TO GIVE YOU DIRECTIVE ON WHAT TO DO:
I KNOW THIS MAY SOUND AS A SURPRISE TO YOU, I MY SELF HAS ONCE SEEN THIS AS
FOOLISHNESS, WHEN I WAS IN THE WORLD, BUT WHEN I ACCEPTED CHRIST AS MY LORD
AND PERSONAL SAVIOUR I DISCOVERED THAT THE ENTIRE WORLD AND IT'S GOOD IS
TOTALLY VANITY, AND I PRAY THAT WHILE READING THIS MESSAGE GOD WILL OPEN
YOUR
EYES TO SEE IT THE SAME WAY HE OPENED MY EYES.
I LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR EARLIEST RESPONSE.
YOURS IN CHRIST.
MRS . KATRINA HILLBERG
