Subject: PEACE OF THE LORD BE WITH YOU :
Calvary Greetings to you in the marvelous and wonderful name of our
precious Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
I am Mrs.Maria David the wife of Mr.Mathew David, my husband worked with the
Chevron/Texaco in Angola for twenty-two years before he died in the year
2004.We were married for twenty-eight years without a child.
It is by the grace of God that I received Christ,Having known the truth, I
had no choice than to do what is lawful and right in the sight of God for
eternal life and in the sight of man for witness of God mercy and glory upon
my life.
My Husband died after a brief illness that lasted for only seven 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
US$18.000,000.00(Eighteen Million USD) this fund is lying with a Private
Security Company here in cotonou (republic du benin) west-africa.Presently,
this money is still with the security company and the management just wrote
me as the beneficiary to come forward to take delivery or rather appoint
somebody to receive it on my behalf if I can not come over.
Presently, I'm in a hospital in cotonou republic du benin west-africa where
I have been undergoing treatment for esophageal cancer. I have since lost my
ability to talk and my doctors have told me that I have only a few weeks to
live. It is my last wish to see this money distributed to charity
organizations any where in the World.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 Stand and collect the Funds from the
security company.
I want a person that is God fearing that will use this money 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
soundless voice and presence of my husband's relatives around me always.I
don't want them to know about this development. With God all things are
possible.
As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the Attorney
who is in cotonou republic du benin west-africa, he will be the one to
assist you so that you will take delivery from the security company as my
next of kin immediately your arrival.
May the love, joy, peace, grace and favor of God rest upon you and me always
and forever more Amen.
I am waiting for your quick responds soonest.
Yours Sister in Christ,
Sister Maria David.
