Subject: DEAREST IN THE LORD RESPOND VERY URGENTLY
*DEAREST IN THE LORD RESPOND VERY URGENTLY
May God bless you
From: Mrs ROSE WILLIAMS*
*Attn: Please,
I am the above named person from Angola. I am married to Mr. Lobi Williams
who worked with Angola embassy in Ivory Coast for nine years before he died
in the year 2005. 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 remarry or get a child
outside my matrimonial home which the Bible is against. When my late husband
was alive he deposited the sum of Eigtheen million US
Dollars(US$18,000,000.00) with one Bank. Presently, this money is still with
the Bank. Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not last for the next
Eight months due to cancer problem. The one that disturbs me most is my
stroke sickness. Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to
a church that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct herein.
I want a church that will use this fund for orphanages, widows, propagating
the word of God and to endeavour 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 husband's
efforts to be used by unbelievers. I don't want a situation where this money
will be used in an ungodly way. 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 bosom 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 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 Bank. I
will also issue you an authority letter that will prove you the present
beneficiary of this fund. I want you and the church to always pray for me
because the lord is my 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 all through your life, any
delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing another ministry or
organisation for this same purpose. Please assure me that you will act
accordingly as I stated herein.
Hoping to receive your reply.
Remain blessed in the Lord.
Yours in Christ,
Mrs ROSE WILLIAMS*
