Subject: DEAR IN CHRIST.
From Mrs Gift Anny.
Dear in Christ ,
I am the above named person from Kuwait. I am married to Mr Solomon Anny who worked with Kuwait embassy in Senegal for nine years before he died in the year 2002. We were married for nineteen years with 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 left the sum of $7.5 Million (seven million five hundred thousand U.S.Dollars) in fixed deposit in a finance firm. Presently, this money is still in the finance firm.
Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not last for the next Two 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 trustworthy person that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct herein. I want you to use this fund for orphanages, widows, propagating the word of God and to endeavor 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 of my only child that
will inherit 25% from this money and help to secure a good education & accomodation and also for the seck of God i will like you take him as your child and been a guidiance to him where by 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. With God all things are possible.
As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the
contact of the finance firm and for you to contact with them directly for onward transfer of the said fund . I will also issue you an authority letter that will prove you as the present beneficiary of my funds. I want you and your family to always pray for me and my son 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 person 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 Gift Anny.
