Subject: FROM MRS JOY ANU
MRS. JOY ANU,
PLOT 12 KINGS STREET, VICTORIA ISLAND,
LAGOS NIGERIA,
PLEASE ENDEAVOUR TO USE IT FOR THE CHILDREN OF GOD.
Dear Friend,
I am the above named person from Kuwait. I am married to Dr. Kazeem Anu, who worked with Kuwait embassy in Nigeria 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 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$12 Million (Twelve Million U.S. Dollars) with a Bank. Presently, his money is still under the safe keeping of the Intercontinent!al Bank
Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not last for the next three months due to mycancer problems. Though what disturbs me most is my stroke. Having known my condition, I decided to donate this fund to an organization or better still a God fearing individual that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct here in.I want a fellow 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 elatives 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 reasons 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 14 VS 14 say!s 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 and as well 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 will forward your personal information to my lawyer and the Bank so that they will contact you as the legal owner of this fund before transferring the fund into your nominated Bank Account in your country. I will also issue you a letter of authority that will empower you as the original-beneficiary of this fund.
I want you and your family to always pray for me because the lord is my shepherd.My happiness is that I lived worthy life as a God fearing person. Whoever that wants to serve the Lord must serve him in spirit and truth.Please always be prayerful all through your life. Please assure me that you will act accordingly as! I stated herein.Once I hear from you I will give to you a lawyer thatI have contacted to take care of this transaction, personal contact as to get intouch with him and know what is required of you, as to be able to do the needed things. Hoping to hear from you as soon as possible. Remain blessed in the name of God the most High.
My Very Best Regards,
Mrs. JOY Anu
