Mrs Joyce Anu
P.O.Box 2345
Accra - North
Ghana - west-africa.
I am the above named person from Ghana. I am married to Dr.Kazeem Anu,who worked with Kuwait embassy in Ghana 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. Since his death I having being on sick bed because I am a cancer patient.When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of $6Million (Six MillionU.S.Dollars)with International Commercial Bank here in Accra-Ghana. Presently, this money is still under the safe keeping of the Bank.
>Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not last for the next three months due to my cancer of the breast problems which is getting worst. Though what disturbs me most is my stroke. Having known my condition, I decided 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 Holy 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 don't need any telephone communication in this regard because of my health and also because of the presence of my husband?s relatives around me always. I dont 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 so that he will start processing of the legal documents that will make you to be able to make the funds claim 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 God is been so good to me. 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 you the contact informations of the Lawyer I have contacted to take care of this transaction even If I die. So do get back to me through email or direct to my attorney Mr.Omar Djarto Boukari tel: +233 243471860. Make sure you will do according to my instructions on this letter. Hoping to hear from you as soon as possible. God Bless You.
My Very Best Regards,
Mrs. Joyce Anu.
