I am the above named person from Kuwait. I am married to Dr. Harry
Jones who worked with Kuwait Embassy in Ivory Coast for nine years before he
died in the year 2000.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. Since his death I decided not to
re-marry or get a child outside my matrimonial home .When my late husband
was alive he deposited the sum of $8.6Million (Eight Million six hundred
thousand U.S.Dollars) with a
finance/security company in Europe.
Presently, this money is still with the Security Company and the
management has written me as the beneficiary to come forward to receive
the trunk box of money or rather issue a letter of authorisation to
somebody to receive it on my behalf if I can not come over.
Presently, I'm in a hospital where I have been undergoing treatment for
oesophageal cancer. I have since lost my ability to talk and my doctors
have told me that I might not be able to survive this illness from all
indications.It is my last wish to see this money distributed to victims of
Hiv/aids,charities donations,Orphans and other needy persons in your
country.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 anymore.
I beg you in the name of God to help me collect the deposit and the
interest accrued from the company and distribute it accordingly.
I want a person that is God fearing that will use this money to assist
and utilise for 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 beleivers 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 will not be able to use the telephone communication
in this regard because of my soundless voice and the 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 Finance/ Security Company. I will
also issue you a letter of authority that will prove you as the new
beneficiary of this fund. I want you and your fellow believersto always pray
for me because the lord is my shephard.My happiness is that I lived a life
of a worthy Christian. however 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 another person for
this same purpose.
Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated herein.
Hoping to hearing from you soon.
Mrs Mary Jones.
