Subject: Call For Charity Work.
Dear Beloved,
With respect and humility, I am writing this letter to solicit for your
assistance to carry out charity work;
though it looks strange hence we don't know each other.
I am Mrs Sarah Garuba from South Africa. I was married to Mr.Garuba Williams
who worked with Nigeria Port Authority(NPA) as Controller General at Tinka
Island Sea-Port in Lagos for Twelve years before he died in the year 2004
june.
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 Christian. Since his death I decided not to remarry or get a child
outside my matrimonial home which the Bible is against.
When my late husband was alife he deposited the sum of (Twenty Million U.S.
Dollars) with "Zenith International Securities Corporation" here in Nigeria.
This securities corporation in collaboration with "Diplomatic Express
Courier Services" help in the shipment of valuable goods out of the country
through Diplomatic means, so the fund is packaged in consignments.
Presently, these consignments are still with the Securities Corporation.
Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not last for the next Eight months
due to cancer problem.The one that disturbs me most is my stroke sickness.
Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to any individual/
organisation that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct.
I want a God fearing individual who is responsible and will use this funds
for orphanages, widows, propagating the work of God and to endeavor 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 dont have any child
that will inherit this money and my husband's relatives are not God fearing
and I dont want my husband's effort to be used by mismanagers. I dont want a
situation where this money will be used in an ungodly way. This is why I am
taking this decision.
I am not afraid of death because 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 dont need any telephone
communication in this regard because of my poor health that is why the
presence of my late husband's relatives around me always. I dont want them
to know about this development.
As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact name of my
lawyer, telephone number and email address who will issue you an authority
letter that will prove you the present beneficiary of this fund. I want you
to always pray for me because the lord is my shephard. With God all things
are possible. My happiness is that I live 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.
Please I want you to assure me that you will act accordingly as I Stated
Above.
Remain blessed in the Lord.
Best Regards,
Mrs Sarah Garuba.
