I am Mrs. Thereza John from Liberia. I am married to Mr. Samuel John who worked with Liberian embassy in Lome-Togo for nine years before he died in the year 2000.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 $14. 7 Million (FOURTEEN MILLION SEVEN HUNDRED THOUSAND U.S.A DOLLARS) with one security company in Europe. Presently, this money is still with the Security Company. 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 stroke sickness. Having known my condition I decided to keep this fund in Europe.
I want an organization or an individual that will assist me and use it for the purpose o! f the less priveledged,The Bible made us to understand that Blessed is the hand that giveth.I took this decision because I dont have any child that will inherit this money and my husband relatives are not Christians and I dont want my husbands efforts to be used by inlaws. I dont 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 dont need any telephone communication in this regard because ofmy health hence the presence of my husband's relatives around me always. I dont want them to know about this development. With God all things are possible.
As soon as I receive your reply I shall inform the security company in Europe that you are the beneficiary of the said consignment you will need to go and claim this fund in Europe. I wil! l also issue you an authority letter that will prove you the present b eneficiary of this fund. I want you and the organization to always pray for me because the lord is my shepherd.
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. Any delay in your reply will
give me room in searching for another person for this same purpose. Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated herein. If you want to talk by phone, you can call my Lawyer on telephone number , or mail him at(peterfrankxxxx@yahoo.com ) his name is Barrister PETER FRANK. Hoping to receive your reply and Remain blessed in the Lord.please send me your
telephone/fax number too so that my lawyer can contact you too thank you.
