From: Mrs. Marilyn Kurtz.
Beloved.Greetings to you in the most wonderful name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. His richest blessings shall be upon you forever. It is by the grace of God that I received Christ, Having known the truth; I had no choice than to do what is lawful and right in the sight of God for eternal life and in the sight of man for witness of God’s mercy and glory upon my life. I am Mrs. Marilyn Kurtz, I am 51 years old from Netherlands, I am deaf and suffering from a long time cancer of the Lungs which also affected my brain, from all indication my conditions is really deteriorating and it is quite obvious that, according to my doctors they have advised me that I may not live for the next two months, this is because the cancer stage has gotten to Avery bad stage.
I was brought up from a motherless babies home, was married to my late husband Dr. Dan Kurtz worked with the Chevron/Texaco before he died in the year 2003. We were married for twenty-nine years without a child. For twenty years without a child. My husband died in a fatal motor accident. Before his death we were true Christians. Since his death I decided not to re-marry, when my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of US $18.5M. (Eighteen Million Five Hundred) with a Security Company in the year 2001.
My dear, this money is still with them and the management just wrote me as the true owner to come forward to receive the money for keeping it so long or rather issue a letter of authorization to somebody to receive it on my behalf since I can not come over because of my illness or they get it confisticated.
Presently, I'm 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 to any organization of your choice and distributed each year among the charity organization, the poor and the motherless babies home. I want you God fearing, to also use this money to fund churches, orphanages and widows. I took this decision, before I rest in peace because my time Will soon be up.
As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the Security Company. I will also issue you a letter of authority that will improve you as the new beneficiary of my fund.
Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated here in. I shall wait at your prayerful reply.
Thank you in his precious name.
Yours in Christ,
Mrs. Marilyn Kurtz
