Beloved,
I am the above named person from Liberia, presently staying in Rome. I
am married to Mr. John Michael who worked with Liberian Embassy in
Lome-Togo for nine years before he died in the year 2004. We were
married for eleven (11) years without a child and he died after a brief
illness that lasted for just four (4) days.
Before his death, we were both born- again Christians, since my
husband's death, I have decided never to re-marry or have a child
outside my matrimonial home which the bible is against. When my late
husband was still alive he deposited the sum ofUS$6,800,000.00 (Six
Million, Eight Hundred Thousand United States Dollars only) with a
Security Company and this money is still with the Security Company up
till this moment. Recently, my doctor notified me that I have less than
eight (8) months to live due to my cancer problem but the one that
bothers me most is my stroke sickness. Having known my condition, I
decided to keep this fund.
I want an organization or an individual that will use this fund for
orphanages, widows, propagating the word of God and to endeavor that
the house of God is fully maintained. My Bible tells me that "Blessed
is the hand that gives, I took this decision because I do not have any
child that will inherit this money and my husband's relatives are not
Christians and I do not want my husband's effort to be used by
UN-believers.
I do not want a situation where this money will be used in an ungodly
way, this is the reason I am taking this decision, and moreover I am
not afraid of death because I know where I am going. I know that I am
going to be in the bosom of our Lord. Exodus 14 VS 14 says that the
Lord will fight my cause and I shall hold my peace. Telephone
communications will be minimal in this regard because of my health and
also being fully aware of the presence of my husband's relatives who
are always around me. I do not want them to know about this development
for I know that with God all things are Possible.
As soon as I receive your reply, I will inform the Security Company
that you are the beneficiary of the said consignment and you will need
to go and claim this fund. I will also issue you an authorization
letter that will prove that you are the rightful beneficiary to the
fund. I want you and your organization to always pray for me because
the Lord is my Strength, Shepherd and my Help. My happiness is that I
lived a life of a worthy Christian and whosoever that wants to serve
our Lord must serve him in spirit and in truth. Please always be
prayerful for God is our source and once we are separated from our
source, we are dead spiritually which automatically manifests in the
physical.
Any delay in your reply will give me room to source for another person
for this same purpose. Please assure me that you will act accordingly
as I stated herein. You can send your response here, including your
telephone number, and I will always get back to you immediately.
Hoping to receive your reply soon and remain blessed in the Lord.
Yours in Christ,
Princess Mary Michael
