Subject: FROM MRS ANU JOY
MRS. JOY ANU,
PLOT 12 KINGS STREET, VICTORIA ISLAND,
LAGOS NIGERIA,
PLEASE ENDEAVOUR TO USE IT FOR THE CHILDREN OF GOD.
Dear,
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 security company. Presently, his money is still under the
safe keeping of the security company.
Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not last for the next three 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 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 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 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 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 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 so
that he 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 here in.Once I hear from you I will give to
you a lawyer that I 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
