Subject: PLEASE ENDEAVOUR TO USE IT ON CHURCHES AND ORPHANAGES
FROM MRS ROSE GRANT OF NETHERLANDS
PLEASE ENDEAVOUR TO USE IT ON CHURCHES AND ORPHANAGES
REPLY-TO: rosegrant@myway.com
Dearest one,
I am the above named person from Netherlands. I am married to DR
WILLIAM GRANT who worked with NETHERLANDS Embassy in Nigeria for nine years
before his death on march 2003.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 christians.When my late
husband was alive he deposited the sum of Fifteen million, four hundred
thousand U.S.Dollars (US$15.4) with FINANCE HOUSE.
Presently, this money is still with the above mentioned bank and the
management just wrote me as the beneficiary to come forward to receive
the money or rather issue a letter of authorisation to somebody to
receive it in my behalf if I can not come over.Again, I'm with my laptop
in a
hospital where I have been undergoing treatment for cancer of the
lungs. I have since lost my ability to talk and my doctors have told me that
I have only a few months to live.
It is my last wish to see this money distributed to charity
organizations because relatives and friends have plundered so much of my
wealth
since my illness. I cannot live with the agony of entrusting this huge
responsibility to any of them. Please,I beg you in the name of God to
help me collect the deposit and the interest accrued from the bank and
distribute it accordingly.
I want a person that has God fearing, that will use this money on
churches and orphanages 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.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 searching for another
person for this same purpose.
Hoping to hear from you soonest.
Yours Sister in the Lord,
Mrs Rose Grant
NB:Please kindly contact me on my alternative
email:(rosegrant@myway.com) for arrangements regarding this transaction
and assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated herein.
