Subject: GREETINGS IN THE NAME OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST
From: Mrs.Agnes Brown
I am the above named person from United Kingdom. I am married to late James Brown of blessed memory for the past eleven years before he died in the year 2001. We are 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 devoted Christians. Since his death I too have been battling with both cancer and fibroid problem. When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of ($15Million U.S. Dollars only) with a financier security company, recently my doctor told me that I would not last for the next three months due to cancer problem.
Having known my condition, I decided to donate this fund to a charity organization, devoted Christian individual or God fearing person and more especially the victims of Hurricane Katrina I want an organization, individuals or God-fearing persons to use this money with all sincerity to fund churches, orphanages, widows and also propagating the word of God miracle.
The Word of God emphasizes so much on God benevolence and this I took this decision because I dont have any child that will inherit this money and my husband relatives are not God fearing and I dont want a situation
where this money will be used in an unholy manner. Hence the reasons for taking this bold decision. I know that after death I will be with God the most beneficent and most merciful.
With God all things are possible. As soon as I receive your reply, I shall give you the contact of the Security Company where the funds were deposited for safekeeping. I will also issue an order of authority to the Security Company, authorizing them that the said funds have being willed to you. I want you and the believers / community where you reside to always pray for me.
My happiness is that I lived a true devoted life worthy of emulation. Whosoever, that wants to serve God must serve him in truth and fairness. Please always be prayerful all through your life.
You will have 30% out of the total amount for all your time to carry out this dream and to cover whatever expenditures to claim this money. Until I hear from you today unfailingly, my dream will rest squarely on your shoulders. May the Almighty God continue to guide and protect us.
Best regards.
Mrs.Agnes Brown
