MARY JOHN<br>

<div>
Beloved,
</div>
<div>
I am the above named person from <span style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(0, 102, 204); background: transparent none repeat scroll 0%; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial;" id="lw_1169122156_0">Liberia</span>,
presently staying in England. I am married to Mr. Cletus John who worked with
Liberian Embassy in <span style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(0, 102, 204);" id="lw_1169122156_1">Zambia</span>
for nine years before he died in the year 2004. We were married for eleven
(11) years without a child and he died after a brief illness that lasted for
just four (4) days.
</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Before his death, we were both born- again Christians, since my husbands
death, I have decided never to re-marry or have a child outside my matrimonial
home which the bible is against. When my late husband was still alive he
deposited the sum of US$11,500,000.00 (Eleven Million, Five Hundred Thousand <span style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(0, 102, 204); background: transparent none repeat scroll 0%; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial;" id="lw_1169122156_2">United
States</span> Dollars only) with a Security Company in <span style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(0, 102, 204);" id="lw_1169122156_3">Europe</span>
in my name and this money is still with the Security Company up till this
moment. Recently, my doctor notified me that I have less than eight (8) months
to live due to my cancer problem but the one that bothers me most is my stroke
sickness. Having known my condition, I decided to leave this fund in <span style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(0, 102, 204);" id="lw_1169122156_4">Europe</span>.
</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
I want an organization or an individual that will use this fund for
orphanages, widows, propagating the word of God and to endeavour that the
house of God is fully maintained. My Bible tell me that "Blessed is the
hand that gives, I took this decision because I do not have any child that
will inherit this money and my husbands relatives are not<br>
Christians and I do not want my husbands effort to be used by un-believers.
</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
I do not want a situation where this money will be used in an ungodly way,
this is the reason I am taking this decision, and moreover I am not afraid of
death because I know where I am going. I know that I am going to be in the
bosom of our Lord. Exodus 14 VS 14 says that the. Lord will fight my case and
I shall hold my peace. Telephone communications will be minimal in this regard
because of my health and also being fully aware of the presence of my
husbands relatives and my doctors who are always around me. I do not want
them to know about this development for I know that with God all things are
Possible.

As soon as I receive your reply, I will inform the Security Company in <span style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(0, 102, 204);" id="lw_1169122156_5">Europe</span>
that you are the beneficiary of the said consignment and you will need to go
and claim this fund in <span style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(0, 102, 204);" id="lw_1169122156_6">Europe</span>.
I will also issue you an authorization letter that will prove that you are the
rightful beneficiary to the fund. I want you and your organization to always
pray for me because the Lord is my Strength, Shepherd and my Help. My
happiness is that I lived a life of a worthy Christian and whosoever that
wants to serve our Lord must serve him in spirit and in truth.<br>
Please always be prayerful for God is our source and once we are separated
from our source, we are dead spiritually which automatically manifests in the
physical.
</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>

this same purpose. Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated
herein. If you want to talk by phone, you can send your telephone number by
fax so that if my health permits me, I can call you or if you have message,
