Subject: USE THIS MONEY TO HELP CHARITY ORGANIZATION IN YOUR LOCALITY
Attention.
PLEASE ENDEAVOUR TO USE THIS MONEY FOR THE CHILDREN OF GOD.
My name is Pamela Dion from Kuwait. I have been married to Dr. James Dion
who worked with Kuwait embassy in Egypt for twelve years before he died in
2002.We were married for eleven years without a child.
My husband died after a brief illness that lasted for four days. Before his
death we were both born again Christians. Since his death I decided not to
re-marry or
get a child outside my matrimonial home which the Bible is against. When my
late husband was alive he deposited the sum of 10 Million Dollars (Ten
Million
United State Dollars) with one finance/security Company in Europe.
Presently, this money is still with the Security Company. Recently, my
Doctor told me that I would not last for the next three months due to cancer
problem.
Though what disturbs me most is my stroke sickness. Having known my
condition I decided to donate this fund to church or better still a
Christian individual
that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct herein. I want
a church that will use these funds 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 husband relatives are not Christians and I don't want my
husband's 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
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
because of the presence of my husband's relatives around me always. I don't
want them to know about this development.
As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the
Finance/Security Company in Europe and I will also issue you a power of
attorney that will
prove you as the original- beneficiary of this fund. I want you and the
church to always pray for me because the lord is my shepherd. 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 for a church or Christian
individual for this same purpose. Please assure me that you will act
accordingly as I stated herein.
The certificate of deposit and the airway bill are securely kept with my
family lawyer in Egypt and he will join you in Europe to assist with the
claim process.
Please kindly contact him on the contact information below. Barrister

Remain blessed in the name of the Lord.
Yours in Christ,
Mrs. Pamela Dion
