Subject: IN GOOD TRUST DEAR
FROM: MRS.LISA JOHNSON
MY DEAR,
I AM THE ABOVE NAMED PERSON FROM SOUTH AFRICA. I AM MARRIED TO MR.BEN JOHNSON WHO WORKED WITH SOUTH AFRICA EMBASSY IN IVORY COAST FOR NINE YEARS BEFORE HIS DEATH. 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 OR GET A CHILD OUTSIDE MY MATRIMONIAL HOME WHICH THE BIBLE IS AGAINST. WHEN MY LATE HUSBAND WAS ALIVE HE DEPOSITED THE SUM OF $6.5 MILLION U.S. DOLLARS IN PRIVATE FINANCE COMPANY HERE IN ABIDJAN.
RECENTLY, MY DOCTOR TOLD ME THAT I WOULD NOT LAST FOR THE NEXT EIGHT MONTHS DUE TO CANCER PROBLEM. THE ONE THAT DISTURBS ME MOST IS MY H.B.P HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE SICKNESS. HAVING KNOWN MY CONDITION I DECIDED TO DONATE THIS FUND TO A CHURCH OR INDIVIDUAL THAT WILL UTILIZE THIS MONEY THE WAY I AM GOING TO INSTRUCT HEREIN. I WANT A CHURCH OR ORGANISATION THAT WILL USE THIS FUND FOR THE HELP OF ORPHANAGES,WIDOWS, AND THE CHARITIES. 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 AND I DON'T WANT MY HUSBAND'S 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. 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. WITH GOD ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE.AS SOON AS I RECEIVE YOUR REPLY I SHALL GIVE YOU THE CONTACT OF THE PRIVATE FINANCE COMPANY HERE IN ABIDJAN. I WILL ALSO ISSUE YOU AN AUTHORITY LETTER THAT WILL PROVE YOU THE PRESENT BENEFICIARY OF THIS FUND. I WANT YOU AND THE CHURCH TO ALWAYS PRAY FOR ME BECAUSE THE LORD IS MY SHEPHARD. 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.
CONTACT ME ON THE ABOVE E_MAIL ADDRESS:IF THERE IS ANY DELAY IN YOUR REPLY WILL GIVE ME ROOM IN SOURCING ANOTHER MEMBERS FOR THIS SAME PURPOSE. PLEASE ASSURE ME THAT YOU WILL ACT ACCORDINGLY AS I STATED HEREIN.
HOPING TO RECEIVE YOUR REPLY.
REMAIN BLESSED IN THE LORD.
PLEASE YOU CAN WRITE ME WITH THIS AVALEBLE EMAIL ADRRESS;E_MAIL: lisajohnson_f@yahoo.com.au
YOURS IN CHRIST,
MRS..LISA JOHNSON
