PLEASE ENDEAVOUR TO USE IT AS CHILDREN OF GOD.
Your Humble Sister Mrs Lizzy Johnson.
Dear in christ.
My name is Mrs. Lizzy Johnson. I am married to late Mr.Herbert Johnson an international businessman and well known politicians before his death.Before his death we were both born again Christians. We were married for twenty years without a child.My husband died in the year October 2005 after an illness that lasted for four days. When my late husband was alive, we deposited the sum of $11Million (Eleven Million U.S. Dollars) with one of the good save trust company here in Abidjan Cote d’Ivoire .HE TOLD ME THAT HE DID NOT DISCLOSE THE CONTENT OF THE BOX TO THE SECURITY COMPANY BECAUSE HE DEPOSITED THE BOX AS A FAMILY TREASURES AND VALUABLES.HE DID THAT FOR SECURITY PURPOSE.
Recently my Doctor said that i would not last for the next three months due to my cancer problem. Though what disturbs me most is my stroke. Having known my condition i decided to safeguard this fund into a private account for investment purposes and donate part to charity. Meanwhile, i am contacting you to utilize this money the way i am going to instruct here in. You will donate 30% to charity, 25% for you and 5% for any expenses you may incur in this transaction and 40% will be for church.
I and my late husband decide to use some of the money to work for God, he have low manterity. My late husband relatives are very wicked and they want my family hard earned money to be misused. They have collected many of my late husband’s properties both car and houses and sold them off without caring for i or my son. Please i do not want my family hard earned money to be misused. Hence the reason for taking this bold decision.
I am not afraid of death but my only problem is my take good care of the money. As soon as I hear from you, I shall give you the contact of the save trust company where my late husband made this deposit. I will also give you a letter of authority which will empower you as the new beneficiary of this fund incase if any thing happens to me, you will have no problem in dealing with the save trust company .I want you to always pray for me because the lord is my strength. Reply me immedaitely you read this email beacuse any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing for another person for this same purpose.
I know that I am going to be in the bossom 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 of my health and because of the presence of my husbands 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 give you the contact of the prime bank in Abidjan. I will also issue you a letter of authority that will empower you as the new 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 if not for me but for the sake of those who believe in him to be more stronger and for those who it not to believe bcause he (GOD almighty) is the way and light.
Please keep this transaction confidential for security reeason contact me
Remain blessed.
Yours in Christ,
Your beloved Sister
Mrs Lizzy Johnson
