I am MRS.BELINDA WILLIAM, a United State national I was married to DR.WILLIAMS ROBERT who worked with AMERICAN Embassy in NIGERIA for nine years before he died in the year 2000,He died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days. Since his death I decided not to re-marry or get a child outside my matrimonial home which the Bible is against.
We were married for eleven years and the union unfortunately did not produce any offspring. Before his death we had given our lives to Christ and were living according to his Words. A few weeks ago I was diagnosed with Cancer and the doctor has informed me that I do not have much time to live.
Presently I am practically an invalid as the cancer has ravaged my body and I can feel my life slowly ebbing away. I do not have much time to do the Lord's work but He will give me strength to see my last assignment through. My husband, DR.WILLIAMS ROBERT before his death deposited his life savings of $8.6 Million (Eight Million Six hundred thousand U.S. Dollars) in a consignment with a financial institution as gem stones for security reasons unknown to the security firm best known to me, my attorney and my late husband.
Before his death, we were committed to the growth of the church and the propagation of the word, but I can no longer partake in these noble tasks. I need a church, Christian individual or individuals who can continue the work on our behalf and will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct here into-funding churches, orphanages and widows propagating the word of God and to ensure that the house of God is maintained. To care for the sick, the poor, the downtrodden wherever they may be The Bible made us to understand that blessed is the hand that gives. I took this decision because I don't have any child or next of kin who can inherit these funds.
Though the Internet is a seemingly unlikely place to find such individuals, I believe that the Lord hides jewels in the most unlikely places. It is not the means that is important but the message. 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 and with God all things are possible.
Our family friend a reverend father ( REVEREND .RICHARD JEFF ) who is still nigeria will be the person incharge of this transaction and will issue you a letter of authorization that will prove you as the present beneficiary to these consignment when ever you are ready to go for the claim of this fund and also will assist you in getting some other detail as regards this claim of the consignment/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. Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated herein and If you are ready to do as i have said , Please contact ( REVEREND .RICHARD JEFF ) on this email address :- ( richardlaw@myway.com <mailto:richardlaw@myway.com> )
Remain blessed in the Name of the Lord.
Yours in Christ,
Mrs.Belinda William.
