Subject: From Reen.
My Dear in Christ,
Please endeavour to use it for children of God.
with warm hearts I offer my friendship, and my greetings, and I hope this
letter meets you in good time. It will be surprising to you to receive this
proposal from me since you do not know me personally. However, I am
sincerely seeking you for your assistance in this transaction, which I
propose with my free
mind and as a person of integrity from God.
My name is Mrs. Reen Gupta from Malaysia. I am married to Dr james Gupta who
worked with the Shell petroleum Company in South Africa for nine years,
Before he died in 2002. We were married for nine years without a
child.Before his death we were both born again christains.Since his death i
decided not to remarry or get a child outside my matrimonial home which the
bible spoke
against.When my husband was alife he deposited the sum of $22million US
dollars [twenty two million US dollars] with a finance company in europe.
Presently, the money is still with the finance company in europe. Resently
my doctor told me that it will take the grace of GOD for me to live 0ne year
more due to my illness (cancer) Though what disturbs me mostly is one of my
legs is out of use for now,Having known my condition i decided to intrust
this funds to a christain individual that will use this to fund to go into
investments, assist churches,orphanages and widows and also propagating the
word of God and to ensure that the house of God is maintained.
The bible made us to understand that blessed are the hands that giveth. I
took this decision because i don`t have any child that will inherit the
money and my husband relatives are not christains and i don`t want my
husband hard earned money to be misused by unbelievers. I don`t want a
situation where these money will be used in an ungodly manner,Hence the
reason for taking these bold decision.I am not afraid of death hence i know
where am going.I know that am going to be in the bossom of the lord.Exodus
14vs14 says that the lord will fight my case and i shall hold my peace.I can
only communication with you via email because of my health i cant always
call you because of my health and my inlaws around me but i will always try
if chance permits me. I don`t want them to know about these development.
Although i can do all things through christ that empowers me.As soon as i
recieve your reply i shall give you the contact of the Finance company in
Spain.And I will also be sending to you the deposit document and a letter of
authority from the court that will enpower you as the original-Beneficiary
of this funds.I want you to always pray for me. My happiness is that i lived
a life of a worthy Whoever that wants to serve the lord must serve him in
spirit and in truth. Please always be prayerful all through your life.
Thanks for your understanding.
I wait to hear from you.
Best regards,God bless you.
Mrs Reen Gupta.
