Subject: Donation From; Mrs. Elisabeth Hamson
Contribution on Project for Charity Organization. Your Help is appreciated on This Project Urgent Response Please!!
Greetings In the name of God Almighty,
I am Mrs. Elisabeth Hamson, from Kuwait. I am married to late Mr. Solomon Hamson, who worked with Kuwait Embassy in Ivory Coast for Twenty-Six years before he died in the year 2002, after a brief illness that lasted for only five days. We were married for Eighteen years with a duaghter (Linda) who later died in a motor accident.
Before the untimely death of my husband, we were both born again Christians. Since his death I decided not to re-marry. When my late husband was alive he made a numbered time (Fixed) deposited for twelve calendar months, valued at Six Million Five Hundred United State Dollars (US$6,500,000.00) with account and pin/code number AXXX5023/WIRE VIPS. Meanwhile, this money is still with the bank and the managements just wrote me as the beneficiary to come forward to receive the money or rather issue a letter of authorization to somebody to receive it on my behalf.
Presently, I am with my laptop in a hospital where I have been undergoing treatment for cancer of the lungs. I have since lost my ability to talk and my doctors have told me that I have only a few months to live. It is my last wish to see that this money is invested and proceed at the end of every year distributing items among charity organization.
Recently, Following my ill health, my Doctor told me that I may not last for the next eight months due to my cancer problem. The one that disturbs me most is my stroke sickness. Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to a Christain organization (Church) that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct herein, according to the desire of my late husband before his death.
I want this fund to be used in Christain Activities like, Orphanages, Christain schools, and Churches for 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 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. 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. With God all things are possible.
I want a person that is God fearing that will use this money for charity organization, and widows propagating the word of God and to ensure 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 knew that there are a lot of poor people suffering from different kind of disease and nobody to come to their aid. With God all things are possible.
As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the Bank where the funds is deposited and I will also issue you a letter of authority that will prove you as the new beneficiary of this fund. 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.
You will be entitled to 10% of the total amount for your time and kind assistance. Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated herein.
Hoping to hearing from you soon.
Yours Beloved in christ.
Mrs. Elisabeth Hamson
