Subject: Mrs Margret Lee
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 Margret Lee
from Malaysia. I am married to Dr James Lee
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
Europe.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 Margret Lee
