Subject: My Dear Beloveth,
My Dear Beloveth,
I am Mrs. Grace Edward, presently staying in Europe. I am married to Mr.
John Edward who worked with Angolan embassy in Lome-Togo for Ten years
before he 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 Christian. Since his death I decided not to remarry, due to my
condition of health. I have been diagnosed with Esophageal cancer. It has
defiled all forms of medical treatment.
Though I my husband is a very rich man, When my late husband was alive he
deposited the sum of $6.8Million (Six Million Eight hundred thousand U.S.
Dollars) with one security company in Asia. Presently, this money is still
with the Security Company.
Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not last for the next Eight months,
right now I have only about a few months to live, according to medical
experts. The one that disturbs me most is my stroke sickness. Having known
my condition I decided to keep this fund in Asia.
I want an organization or an individual that will use this fund for
orphanages, widows, propagating the word of God and to endeavor 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 but
I have given them much as expected from me and I don't want my husbands
efforts to be used by unbelievers.
I don't want a situation where this money will be used in an ungodly way.
This is why I am taking this 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 hence the presence of my husband's relatives around me always. I
don't want them to know about this development.
I want God to be merciful to me and accept my soul so, I have decided to
give alms to charity organizations, as I want this to be one of the last
good deeds I do on earth. So far, I have distributed money to some charity
organizations in Austral, Cameroon, Gambia, Algeria and Malaysia. Now that
my health has deteriorated so badly, I cannot do this myself anymore. I once
asked members of my family to close one of my accounts and istribute the
money, which I have there to charity organization in Bulgaria and Pakistan,
they refused and kept the money to themselves. Hence, I do not trust them
anymore, as they seem not to be contended with what I have left for them.
With God all things are possible. As soon as I receive your reply I shall
inform the security company in Asia that you are the beneficiary of the said
consignment you will need to go and claim this fund in Asia. I will also
issue you an authority letter that will prove you the present beneficiary of
this fund. I want you and the organization 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 another person for this same purpose.
Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated herein.
Hoping to receive your reply and Remain blessed in the Lord.
Yours in Christ
Mrs. Grace Edward.
