Subject: God bless the child
From: Mrs. stella sigcau
Bless the children of God.
Dearest friend
I am the above named person but now undergoing
medical treatment now in south africa and formal south
african government official before now. I am married to Mr.
alan sigcau who worked with south africa
embassy in nigeria for nine years before he died in the year 2001.
We were married for eleven years with two child.Whom
died under tragic circumstances.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 which the Bible is against. When my
late husband was alive he deposited the sum of$15.6 Million
(Fifteen Million six hundred thousand U.S. Dollars) with one
finance/security company in Europe.
Presently, this money is still with the Security
Company. Recently, my Doctor told me that I would
not last for the next three months due to cancer problem.
Though what disturbs me most is my stroke.
Having known my condition I decided to donate this
fund to church or better still a christian
individual that will utilize this money the way I am going to
instruct here in. I want a church or individual that
will use this 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
bossom 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
health,and because of 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 Attorney, that will issue you a letter of
authority/affidavite to make claims of the fund to
you in your country from the Finance/Security Company Europe. I will
also
issue you a letter of authority that will empower
you as the original- beneficiary of this fund. I want
you and the church to always pray for me because the
lord is my shephard. 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
sourcing for a church or christian individual for this same
purpose. Please assure me that you will act
accordingly as I stated herein. Hoping to hear from
you. note you are to take 80%, for the charity work
to God then 5% for expenses,you can collect the
remianing 15% for your kindness and works.
please reply me through this email;stellasigcau300@excite.com
Remain blessed in the name of the Lord.
Yours in Christ,
Mrs stella sigcau,
For the family.
