Subject: Can I count on you?
MRS HELEN OTI,
22 NELSON MANDELA ROAD,
JONNESBOUGH,
SOUTH AFRICA
DEAR Beloved,
PLEASE ENDEAVOUR TO USE IT FOR THE CHILDREN OF GOD. I am the above
named person from SOUTH AFRICA. I am married to DR. JOHNSON OTI, who worked
with Canadian embassy in South Africa for nine years before he died in the
year2000. 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$7.5 Million
(seven Million five hundred thousand U.S.Dollars) with a SECURIY COMPANY in
Europe.
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 SEVEN months due to my cancer problems.
Though what disturbs me most is my stroke. Having known my condition, I
decided to donate this fund to church or better still a Christian
individual That will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct
here in.
I want a church 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 bosom 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 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 forward your personal information to the security
company in Europe 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 a authority that will empower you as
the original- beneficiary of this fund. I want you and the church to
always pray for me because the lord is my shepherd. My happiness is that I
lived 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 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 as soon as
possible.
Please reply me through my alternative email: mrsheloti@walla.com
Remain blessed in the name of the Lord.
Yours in Christ,
Mrs Helen Oti.
