Dearly Beloved in Christ !
Calvary greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, I am Mrs. Helene
Heather Thomson Sneddon, I am a national of Canada, I grew up in Africa and
I am also presently hospitalized in Cape Town South Africa, due to my
illness. Presently, I'm with my laptop in this Hospital, where I have been
undergoing treatment for cancer for over one year.
My husband was once the Managing Director of Shell Oil Company in Nigeria,
where I and my husband spent most of our lives I am a widow to Late Mr. Mark
Thomson Sneddon. I have served the Lord all through my life, from long time
cancer of the breast to a very critical stroke. From all indications, my
condition is serious and is quite obvious that I may not live more than six
months, because the cancer stage has gotten to a very severe state and my
doctor has told me this The one that disturbs me most is the stroke that
paralyzed half of my body.
My late husband was killed during his reign as the Managing Director of
Shell Oil Company in Nigeria, and during the period of our marriage we had a
son who was also killed along with his father through food poison in Shell
Oil Company convention of 2003 in Abuja.
My late husband was very wealthy and after his death, I inherited all His
business and wealth. Presently my doctor told me that I may not live for
more than six months, though I am not scared about this, I am not afraid of
death, hence I will be in the bosom of the Lord forever, any time my God
calls me home So, I now decided to look for an organization or an individual
who is God fearing, that will use the funds for charity organization, by
contributing to the development of evangelism in the world, assisting
motherless babes homes and poor churches all over the world.
I am willing to donate all the money I have in the bank, the sum of
US$5,000,000.00 (Five Million United States Dollars) to you for the
development of evangelism and also as aids for the less privileged around
you.
Please note that this fund is lying with HSBC BANK in your country, where I
and my husband deposited the funds along with our family lawyer. My family
Lawyer will file an immediate application for the transfer of the money in
your name.
Please, do not reply me if you have the intention of using this fund for
personal use, you will have a reasonable percentage of the total funds when
the funds gets to your custody, before investing the remainder of the funds
for God`s works.
Lastly, I want you and your church to keep praying for me regarding my
health, because I have come to find out that wealth acquisition without
Jesus Christ in one's life, is vanity upon vanity. If you have to die says
the Lord, keep fit and I will give you the crown of life.
Please include your direct telephone number where I can reach you easily, so
that I can call you if my health permits me and have a word with you. I will
be transferred to another hospital in the UK today due to my critical state
of health.
May the Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the sweet
fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you now and forever more, amen.

God bless you
I await your urgent reply
