From:Evangelist Lindy Mike(Widow).
Calvary greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, i am
Evangelist Lindy Mike, The daughter of Late Sherrif Kindimbu from
Weste Africa Nigeria.I am 34years old,my mother is From England,while
my father is from Nigeria,i am an half cast (White Girl) i was married
to Late John Mike from England, i am now a new christian
convert,suffering from long time liver problem.
From all indications, my condition is serious and according to my
doctor it is quite obvious that i may not survive the sickness,as a
christian,i beleived God and i know that i will not die,i will leave
to declare the glory of God, My late Husband Mr.John Mike is From
England,he and my only son was killed by his family members,because he
does not agree with them, i am presently leaving alone.Our Lord Jesus
Christ is my comforter.
Before the death of my husband,he told me on his sick bed that he did
deposited some money with the United Bank forAfrica UBA Plc in
Nigeria,after that he gave me the Documents he used in Depositing the
fund called Certificate of Deposit,he never wanted to tell me about it
until the present moment that he was about to die,he told me that his
reason for telling me about this fund secretly is because after his
death that he knows his family will not allow me to inherit any of his
wealth or property,he told me its a pity that Nigerian Government will
not allow me to make this claim since i am a citizen of Nigeria,my
husband told me that i can only get the fund claimed through the help
of a foreigner like you,and that was exactly what happened,I made up
my mind to travel abroad to leave the rest of my life and continue to
do the work of God as a missionary,I called my late husband lawyer to
find out if the fund is still in contact in that bank, to enable me
raise some money to conitue my mission,to my greatest surprise it was
still in contact.
Presently,all the Documents concerning theFUND are with me, now that
my sickness has gone to this stage,I am scared and I want the fund to
be used for the work of God all over the world,i have prayed and told
God to direct me to an honest christian who will receive this fund and
utilise it for things that will glorify the name of God,after my
prayers,i searched through the christian site in the internet,I found
your email address and decided to contacted you.
Please if you are interested in using this Fund for the work of
God,please send to me your private phone and fax number full names and
address to enable me direct you to my late Husband lawyer for
immediate arrangement with the UNITED BANK FOR AFRICA UBA Plc on how
the Fund will be claimed by you on my Late Husbands Behalf as his Next
of Kin and New Beneficiary.
I await to here your urgent reply.
Thanks and God bless you.
Evangelist Lindy Mike(Widow).
