Subject: Bless You
Calvary Greetings,
It is by the grace of God that I received Christ,Having known the truth, I
had no choice than to do what is lawful and right in the sight of
God for eternal life and in the sight of man for witness of God´s mercy and
glory upon my life.
I am Mrs Melissa Pointer the wife of Mr Harry Pointer, my husband worked
with the Chevron/Texaco in Kenya for twenty years before he died in
the year 2001.We were married for twenty-seven years without a child. My
Husband 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 US
$3.5M. (Three Million Five Hundred Thousand U.S. Dollars) with a Bank in
Europe.
Presently, this money is still with the Bank and the management just wrote
me as the beneficiary to come forward to sign for the release of this money
or rather issue a letter of authorization to somebody to receive it on my
behalf if I can not come over. Presently, I'm in a hospital in Kenya where I
have been undergoing treatment for esophageal cancer. I have since lost my
ability to talk and my doctors have told me that I have only a few weeks to
live. It is my last wish to see this money distributed to charity
organizations any where in the World. Because relatives and friends have
plundered so much of my wealth since my illness, I cannot live with the
agony of entrusting this huge responsibility to any of them. Please, I beg
you in the name of God to help me Stand and collect the Funds from the Bank.
I want a person that is God fearing that will use this money to fund
churches, 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. 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 bosom of the Lord.
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 soundless voice and 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 Attorney who is in Europe as he will be the one to assist you in
laying claims for this funds.
Please respond to me via this e-mail add:assistmelissap56@yahoo.dk
Yours in Christ,
Melissa Pointer
