Subject: Hello Dear!
Dear Beloved,
I am Mrs Sarah Garuba from South Africa. I was married to Mr.Garuba Williams who work with Nigeria Port Authority(NPA) as a Controller General at Tinka Island Port in Lagos for Twelve years before he died in the year 2004 june.
We were married for eleven years without 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 deposited the sum of (Twenty Million U.S. Dollars)This fund is in "Zenith International Securities Corporation" here in Nigeria.
This securities corporation in collaboration with "Diplomatic Express Courier Services" helps in the shipment of valuable goods out of the country through a Diplomatic means, so the fund is packaged in consignment. Presently, this consignment is still with the Securities Corporation.
Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not last for the next Eight 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 church that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct them.
I want a church or a god fearing individual that will 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 I dont have any child that will inherit this money and my husband relatives are not Christians and I dont want my husbands efforts to be used by unbelievers. I dont 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 because 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 dont need any telephone communication in this regard because of my poor health that is why the presence of my late husbands relatives around me always. I dont want them to know about this development.
As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact name of my lawyer, telephone number and email address who will issue you an authority letter that will prove you the present beneficiary of this fund. I want you and the church to always pray for me because the lord is my shephard. With God all things are possible. My happiness is that I live 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.
Please i want you to assure me that you will act accordingly as I Stated Above.
Remain blessed in the Lord.
Best Regards,
Mrs Sarah Garuba.
