Subject: My dear in the Lord,
My dear in the Lord,
Greetings to you in the most name of our Almighty God.. His richest blessings shall be upon you forever!
I am Mrs. Elizabeth Craven. I am 52 years old from Bulgaria , based in England , UK . I was brought up in a motherless babies home, was married to my late husband, Sir Jim Craven, for twenty two years without a child before the cold hand of death took him away. I became deaf while suffering from a long time cancer of the Lungs which also affected my brain. From all indication, my condition is really deteriorating each time of the day. Recently, my Doctor told me that I have a limited or numbered days on earth and that my life span will not exceed 150days due to the cancerous problems I am suffering from, and it is quite obvious that, according to my doctors they have advised me that I will live for the next few months, this is because the cancer has eating up my lungs. Presently, I'm with my laptop in a hospital where I have been undergoing treatment for this cancer of the lungs, I have since lost my ability to talk. I am not afraid of death hence I know
where I am going. I know that I am going to be with the Almighty when I eventually passed on. The Almighty will fight my case and I shall hold my peace.
My husband worked with the British Railways for over two decade, beside that he had his own private business. Before his death we were both devoted Christians as we made a vow to uplift the Down-trodden and the less-privileged individuals. Since his death I decided not to re-marry, I sold all our properties and deposited the total sum of $16.4 Million,(Sixteen Million four hundred thousand US Dollars with a financial institution here in England) when I discovered that with this ailment I am no longer on the safe side to continue with this charity work which I and my late husband both started hence I asked God for a direction that would enable me get someone who has the interest of God at heart to continue where I and my late husband had stopped, until I got this revelation of you. Presently, this money is still with the financial institution. My wishes are that, this money should be invested in any organization of your choice and distribute the fund each
year among the charity organizations, widows, widowers and the poor. I want you as a God fearing person, to also use this money to fund churches/orphanages homes.
I do not need any telephone communication hence I have already lost the ability to talk due to my deteriorating health I do not want a situation where this money will be used in an ungodly manner, hence the reason for taking this bold decision trusting on God’s directions. With God all things are possible. As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of my attorney whom I have entrusted every detail regarding this fund. As Soon as your information is been received by my attorney, original beneficiary of this fund with other related documents, to make it possible for you to get started on with this charity work.
I took this decision, before I rest in peace because my time will soon be up. I will advice you to be sincere with my attorney, to enable him work out the entire vital document in your favour, and always be prayerful all through your life.God bless you and hope to hear from you soonest.
Yours truly,
Mrs. Elizabeth Craven.
