Subject: MESSAGE FROM THE HEART
From: Mrs. Debra Johnson.
I am the above name person from Essex in the United
Kingdom.
I was married to John Coker who worked with Ocean
Finance for nine years before he died in the year
2003. We were married for Ten years without a child.
He died after a brief illness. Before his death we
Were both born again Christians and we lived happily.
Since his death, I have been a sick widow and
I made a wish to give all
That we both work for to help the less privilege in
the society. When my late husband was alive he secured
$29Million (Twenty nine Million U.S. Dollars) with a
Financial institution here in Europe. Presently,
This money is still with the financial institution.
Recently, my Doctor told me that from all the test
Conducted on my health, I am not going to last long,
Especially, due to my cancer and stroke. But what
Disturbs me most now is the stroke. Having known my
Condition,
I decided to donate this fund to churches or Christian
Individual that will utilize this money the way I am
Going to instruct.
I want a church or individual that will use this money
To fund churches, Orphanages and Widows. Also, the
Propagation of the work of God, building and
Maintaining the house of God through this money, is
Very important. 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. I am not afraid of death
Since I know that I am going to be in paradise. But I
Know that With God all things are possible. As soon as
I receive your reply or call the hospital number here
In London +44-20-70600848 I shall give you the contact
Of the Financial institution in Europe. I will also
Give you all information regarding the deposit of this
Money. I want you and your church to always pray for
Me because God works in mysterious ways. My happiness
Is that I lived a life of a worthy Christian. Who ever
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 soon. Remain blessed in the name of the Lord.
Please reply me on my private email:debra_johnson1@tiscali.co.uk
Or Ring me.
