Ubulu,
a widow to Late Edward Ubulu , I am 70years old, I am now
a new Christian convert,suffering from long time cancer of the breast.
>From all indications, my condition is serious and according to my
doctor it is quite obvious that I may not survive the sickness,although
as a christain,I beleive God and I know that I will notdie,I will live
to declare the glory of God.
My late husband and my only son were killed during the Ogoni Crisis
some years back and I am presently Leaving with some domestic
staffers,Our Lord Jesus Christ is my comforter.
I have the sum of $25,000,000.(Twenty Five million US Dollars)The fund
is in cash, packaged in consignments deposited with a Security Company
for safety and security reasons Presently all the documents
concerning the consignments are with my lawyer.
Now that my sickness has gone to this stage,I am scared i might die
any time therefore i wish that the fund be used to the glory of God .This
money is the procceed from the sale of properties and shares and physical
cash i inherited from my late husband.
I have prayed and I told God to direct me to an honest christian who
will receive this fund and utilise it for things that will glorify the
name of God.
After my prayers,I searched the christain sites in the internet,I found
your email address and I decided to contact you.Please if you are
honest and faithful enough to use this fund strictly for the work of
God,please send to me your full names and address of your ministry to
enable me give it to my lawyer for immediate arrangement with the
security company on how the consignments that contained the fund will
be delivered to you.
Thanks and God bless you while waiting to hear from you.
