Subject: FROM MRS JOY ANU
Mrs. Joy Anu
PLOT 765 WATER FRONT BOSTON HOUSE PMB
87006 VICTORIA ISLAND,
LAGOS NIGERIA,
Dear,
I am the above named person from South Africa. I am married to Dr. Kazeem
Anu, who worked with Kuwait embassy in Nigeria for nine years before he died
in the year 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. 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$12 Million
(Twelve Million U.S. Dollars) with a Reserve / Security company. Presently,
this money is still under the safe keeping of the Reserve/Security company.
Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not last for the next three months
due to my cancer problems. Though what disturbs me most is my stroke. Having
known my condition, Idecided to donate this fund to an organization or
better still a God fearing individual that will
utilize this money the way I am going to instruct here in.
I want a fellow that will use this fund on, 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 reasons 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 blossom of the Lord. Exodus 14 VS 14 says that the lord
will fight my case and I shall hold my peace. I dont need any telephone
communication in this regard because of my health 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 will forward your personal information to
my lawyer and the security company so that they will contact you as the
legal owner of this fund before transferring the fund into your nominated
Bank Account in your country. I will also issue you a letter of authority
that will empower you as the original-beneficiary of this fund.
I want you and your family to always pray for me because the lord is my
shepherd.My happiness is that I lived worthy life as a God fearing person.
Whoever that wants to serve the Lord must
serve him in spirit and truth.
Please always be prayerful all through your life.Please assure me that you
will act accordingly as I stated here in.Once I hear from you I will give to
you a lawyer that I have contacted to take care of thistransaction,personal
contact as to get intouch with him and know what is required of you, as to
be able to do the needed.
Hoping to hear from you as soon as possible.
Remain blessed in the name of God the most High.
My Very Best Regards,
Mrs. JOY ANU
