ATTN: THE PRESIDENT/CEO.
I am Mrs Susan Richards from Solomon Islands near Australia. I am married to
Mr. William Richards who worked with Kuwait Embassy as a consultant in
London for nine years before he died in the year 2003. 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 Christian.
Since his death I Decided not to remarry or get a child outside my
matrimonial home which the Bible is against.
When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of $7.5Million with a
Finance/Security Firm in London. Presently this money is still in the
custody of the Finance/Security Firm in London. Recently, my Doctor told me
that I would not last for the next Eight months due to cancer problem.
Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to a
church/organization or any good person that will utilize this money the way
I am going to instruct herein. I want a church/ organization or any God
fearing person that will use this fund for orphanages, widows, propagating
the work of God and. The Bible made us to understand that? Blessed is the
hand that giveth" l took this decision because I don't have any child that
will inherit this money and my husband relatives are not Christians not even
good at all because they are the one that killed my husband in order to have
all my late husband's properties, as a matter of fact, I don't want my late
husband's efforts to be used by them and I
don't want a situation where this money will be used in a wrong way.
This is why I am taking this decision. I am not afraid of death hence I know
where I am going. I know that I am going to be in his bosom. 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 hence
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
Firm in London and our family Lawyer that will issue you an authority letter
that will prove you the present beneficiary of this fund. I want you and the
church or the organization to always pray for me because the Lord is my
shepherd. My happiness is that I lived a life of a worthy Christian Mother.
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 another church, organization or good person
for this same purpose. Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I
Stated Therein. Hoping to receive your response immediately.
Thanks and Remain blessed in the Lord.
l remain yours sister in Christ.
