Dear Friend,
You are God sent.
FROM MRS MARRIA KUBA.
YOU ARE GOD SENT PLEASE ENDEAVOUR TO USE IT FOR THE CHILDREN OF GOD. I am
married to Dr. EDWARD KUBA, who worked with an embassy in WEST AFRICA for
nine years before he died in the year 2001. 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 MUSLIM. 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$12Million
(Twelve Million U.S. Dollars) with CENTRAL BANK OF NIGERIA. Presently, this
money is still under the safe keeping of the Reserve bank. 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 church or better still a MUSLIM individual
that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct here in. I want
a church 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 hild 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 health because of the presence of
my husband's relatives around me always. I don't want them to know about
this development. BUT IF YOU WANT TO CALL ME PLEASE DO MAKE SURE I AM THE
ONE. (234-344-972-39) With God all things are possible.
As soon as I receive your reply I will forward your personal information to
CENTRAL BANK OF NIGERIA(CBN) 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
the church to always pray for me because the lord is my shepherd. My
happiness is that I lived a life of a worthy Christian. Whoever that wants
to serve the Lord must serve him in spirit and truth. Please always be
prayerful all through your life. Please as sure me that you will act
accordingly as I stated here in. Hoping to hear from you as soon as
possible.
I need these items, NAME... ADDRESS..... TEL... FAXLINE...PROFESSION...
AGE... SEX...
Remain blessed in the name of the Lord.
Yours in Christ,
MARRIA KUBA
