Dear Friend,
Greetings to you in the most wonderful name of our Lord and Savior
Jesus Christ. His richest blessings shall be upon you forever.
I am Mrs Pearl Vaat Cole,I am 51 years old from Netherlands,i am deaf
and
suffering from a long time cancer of the Lungs which also affected my
brain,from all indication my conditions is really deteriorating and it
is quite obvious that, according to my doctors they have advised me that
i may not live for the next two months,this is because the cancer stage
has gotten to avery bad stage. I was brought up from a motherless
babies home, was married to my late husband for twenty years without a
child.My husband died in a fatal motor accident.Before his death we were
true Christians. Since his death I decided not to re-marry,I sold all my
inherited belongings and deposited all the sum of $18.5million dollars
with a Security Company.
Presently, this money is still with them and the management just wrote
me as the true owner to come forward to receive the money for keeping
it so long or rather issue a letter of authorization to somebody to
receive it on my behalf since I can not come over because of my illness or
they get it confisticated.Presently, I'm with my laptop in a hospital
where I have been undergoing treatment for cancer of the lungs. I have
since lost my ability to talk and my doctors have told me that I have
only a few months to live.
It is my last wish to see that this money is invested to any
organisation of your choice and distributed each year among the charity
organization,the poor and the motherless babies home where i come from.I want
you God fearing, to also use this money to fund churches,orphanages and
widows.
I took this decision, before i rest in peace because my time will soon
be up. As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of
the Security Company.I will also issue you a letter of authority that
will prove you as the new beneficiary of my fund. Please assure me that
you will act accordingly as I stated herein. I shall wait at your
prayerful reply.
Thanking you in His precious name.
Yours in His Service
Pastor. P.Vaat Cole,
MRS PEARL COLE
