Subject: INVEST THIS MONEY INTO GOD KINGDOM.
Dear beloved,
I am the above named person from Malaysia. I am married to Dr. Alan George Rowland who worked with Malaysia embassy in Dubai for nine years and he was also a Reverend, I Sarah has i been in tourism for many years , my husband died in the year 2002. 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$13M in a secret place, and My Doctor told me that I would not last for the next three months due to cancer problem. Though what disturbs me most is my stroke. Having known my condition I decided to contact you to make foundation with the funds for the orphanages and widows and to propagate the word of God and to ensure that orphanages are educate.
The Bible made us to understand that Blessed is the hand that giveth. I took this decision because I dont have any child that will inherit this money and my husband relatives are not Christians and I dont want our hard earned money to be sused by unbelievers. I dont 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 dont need any telephone communication in this regard because of my health, With God all things are possible. As soon as! I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the place. I will also issue you a letter of authority that will empower you as the original- beneficiary of this fund. I have to let you understand that if there is any charges you have to take care of that, hear the voice of charities are crying, so you should ensure to use the of money as I stated. 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. Any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing for a good Christian or individual for this same purpose.
Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated herein.
Hoping to hear from you. reply me & Remain blessed in the name of the Lord.
Blessing to you,
Sarah Alan Rowland.
