Subject: Dear Beloved in Christ
Dear Beloved in Christ,
Please bear with me for sending you this just in case you are offended
by it as I know we don't know each. It's my belief that I am doing the
lord's bidding and what is truly right in his eyes and that is what
gives me the courage to send this email to a total stranger like you.
Before I start, I will need to warn you that this email might contain
the most shocking and unbelievable piece of news you have ever had in
your entire life, but I trust the lord to give you enough faith and insight
to see the sincerity in my heart.
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 just 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. Mary Parker, the wife of Mr. Robert Parker, my husband was an
expatriate Contractor with Chevron/Texaco in Kenya for twenty years
before he died in the year 2003. 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 both got born-again and dedicated Christians.
Since his death I decided not to re-marry or get a child outside my
matrimonial home which the Bible is strongly against. When my late
husband was alive he deposited the sum of US$7.5 Million (Seven Million
Five Hundred Thousand U.S. Dollars) in a 4 year one-time fixed deposit
account with a Bank in Europe. Presently, this money(with accrued
interest) is still with the Bank and the management just wrote me as the next
of
Kin/beneficiary to the account that it has become DORMANT since no
transaction has been operated on it since the completion of the 4 years
and if I, as the beneficiary of the funds, do not re-activate the
account; the funds will be CONFISCATED or I rather issue a letter of
authorization
to somebody to receive it on my behalf because of my condition(note
that you need to activate this account) as I can not come over.
Presently, I'm in a hospital in Kenya(I chose to remain here since I will die
closer to nature and the lord) 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 that might be in need of it. I have already donated most of our
wealth here in Kenya to our local church and our house after my death
to an orphanage here in Kinshasha. They are all totalling almost
800,000 USD. Because relatives and friends have plundered so much of my
wealth since
my illness, I cannot live with the agony of entrusting futher this
responsibility to any one of them any more.
I feel you might still be in sin and not so committed to the good lord
or you are not even a christian but today, this moment as you read
this, open your heart as this moment shall become the turning point in
your life. Why would a total stranger like me be sending you this, be
telling you this and be offering this much. Beloved, to be sincere with
you, I HAVE NO IDEA except, that I know that the lord's way are not our
ways. I have come to conclude that's it's divine. Who are we to
question him anyway as just by his breath he gave us life, so
much......
Open your heart and see the beauty of his plans, his intentions, his wish
for the world then it will become very clear to you why at this time I am
dying
and why at the same time you are chosen for this, you other than
someone else. It's all part of the big picture of the kingdom that is
to come. Tha all his followers will spend forever............
Please, I beg you in the name of God to help me Stand-in as the
beneficiary and collect the Funds from the Bank. I want a person that
is God-fearing who 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 husbands’ relatives are not Christians and I
don’t want my husbands’ 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 since I know where I am going to. I know that I am going to be
in the bosom of the Lord. {Exodus14 VS14} says that the lord will fight my
case and I shall hold my peace. I will not communicate with you by
phone in this regard because of my soundless voice and presence of my
husbands’ relatives around me always. I don’t want them to know about
this development as I know all they are interested in is my husband
wealth and not my health.
With God all things are possible.
Beloved one, please send all replies to my other

Your Sister in Christ,
Mary Parker
