Subject: YOUR HELP IS NEEDED
MRS LINDA WELSH
54 PORTLAND PLACE,
LONDON.
W1N 4AD
DEAR BELOVED,
PLEASE ENDEAVOUR TO USE IT FOR THE CHILDREN OF GOD.
I am the above named person from LONDON. I am married to MR
PATRICK
GERALD WELSH who worked with BRITISH embassy in CANADA for nine
years
before he died in the year 1999. 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 pound
sterling)with an OFFSHORE BANK in Europe.Presently, this money
is
still
under
the safe keeping of the BANK. 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 and 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 bossom of the Lord. I know that the lord will
fight
mycase and I shall hold my peace.
I don't need any telephone communication in this regard because of
my
health. With God all things are possible. As soon as I receive
your
reply I
forward your personal information to my husband's Attorney in
London
who
will contact the BANK and introduce you as the legal owner of this
fund
before transfering the fund into your nominated Bank
Account in your country.
You will be issued a letter of authority by him 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 assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated
herein.
Your response should be channeled to my alternate email account
at(lindawelsh4real@rediffmail.com).
Hoping to hear from you as soon as possible.
Remain blessed in the name of the Lord.
