Subject: Dear Sir/Ma
Dear Sir/Ma,I am the above named person but now undergoing medical treatment now. I am married to Dr. Johnson Azlin-Hezri who worked with South Africa embassy in Malaysia for nine years before he died in the year 2000. We were marriedfor 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 27,600 (US) with one Finance / Security Company in Europe.Presently, this money is still with the Security Company.Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not last for the next five months due to cancer problem. Though what disturbs me most is my stroke.Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to my brother and to the church,%5 goes to you if you help me.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 so i rather give this to my brother and my husband's 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 reason 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 14VS 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 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 shall give you the contact of the Finance / Security Company Europe. I will also issue you a letter of 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 life.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. Hope to hear from you soonest.Remain blessed in the name of the Lord,Mrs. Ezadura Binte Azlin-Hezri
