Subject: CHARITY ASSISTANCE.
MRS JOANA WELSH
LONDON,
UNITED KINGDOM.
PLEASE UTILIZE THE FUNDS JUDICIOUSLY FOR HUMAN BENEFIT.
I am the above named person from LONDON. I am married to MR PATRICK
GERALD WELSH who worked with BRITISH HIGH COMMISSION in CANADA for nine years before he died in the year 1999. 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 £7.5 Million(Seven Million five hundred thousand pounds sterling)with an OFFSHORE BANK here in UK.Presently, this money is still under the
safe keeping of the BANK.
Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not last for the next SEVEN
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 christian 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 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 and 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 bossom of the Lord. I know 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. As soon as I receive your reply I
forward your personal information to my husband's Attorney in London who
will contact the BANK and introduce you as the legal owner of this fund
before transfering the fund into your nominated Bank Account in your
country.
You will be issued a letter of authority by him that will empower you
as the original- beneficiary of the funds. 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 any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing for
a church or christian individual for this same purpose.
Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated herein.
Hoping to hear from you as soon as possible.
Remain blessed in the name of the Lord.
Yours in Christ,
Mrs Joana Welsh.
