My Lordship/Friend,
Calvary greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, I am former Mrs
MIKE STACY, now Mrs ELIZABETH JONES, a widow to Late MIKE STACY. I am 72years
old, I am now a new Christian convert,suffering from long time cancer of
the breast. From all indications, my condition is really deteriorating and
is quite obvious that I may not live more than six months, because the cancer
stage has gotten to a very severe stage. My late husband was killed during
the Gulf war, and during the period of our marriage we had a son who was
also killed in a cold blood during the Gulf war. My late husband was very
wealthy and after his death, I inherited all his business and wealth. My
personal physician told me that I may not live for more than six months
and I am so scared about this. So, I now decided to divide part of this
wealth, by contributing to the development of evangel ism in Africa, America,
Europe and Asian Countries. This mission which will no doubt be tasking
had made me to recently relocated to Nigeria, Africa where I live presently.
I selected your church after visiting the website for this purpose and prayed
over it, I am willing to donate the sum of $3.000,000.00 Million US Dollars
to your Church/Ministry for the development of evangelism and also as aids
for the less privileged around you. Please note that, this fund is lying
in a Security Company in Switzerland and the company has branches, therefore
my lawyer will file an immediate application for the transfer of the money
in the name of your ministry. Please, do not reply me if you have the intention
of using this fund for personal use other than enhancement of evangelism.
Lastly, I want you/your ministry to be praying for me as regards my entire
life and my health because I have come to find out since my spiritual birth
lately that wealth acquisition without Jesus Christ in one's life is vanity
upon vanity. If you have to die says the Lord, keep fit and I will give
you the crown of life. May the Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love
of God, and the sweet fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you. I await
your urgent reply. Yours in Christ Mrs .ELIZABETH JONES Christ Live Church,
Bodija, Ibadan, Nigeria. To her [elizabeth] I entrust you, that the New
Woman, Mother of the Church and of the New Humanity, may be your inspiration
in the discovery of a new feminine identity in the Gospel perspective. -
John Paul II, Sept. 4, 1988
