Subject: Dear Beloved
Dear Beloved, I am mrs Sherry Morgan, I am married to Dr. Jones Morganwho worked with Nigerian Embassy in canada for nine years before he died in the year 2005. 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 christians. Since his death I decided not to re-marry or get a child outside my matrimonial home which the Bible is against. When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of $40.5Million (FOURTY MILLION, FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND U.S.Dollars) with a Security Company in Nigeria Presently, this money is still with the SECURITY FIRM and the management just wrote me as the beneficiary to come forward to receive the money, rather issue a letter of authorisation to somebody to receive it on my behalf if I can not come over or the money enters into the company's tressury fund. Presently, I'm in a hospital where I have been undergoing treatment for oesophageal cancer. I have since lost my ability to talk and my doctors have told me that I have only a few months to live considering the natured of my ailment. It is my last wish to see this money distributed to victims of this HURRICANE and other charity organizations, because my relatives and friends have plundered so much of my wealth since my illness, I cannot live with the agony of entrusting this huge responsibility to any of them. Please,I beg you in the nameof God to help me collect the deposit and distribute it accordingly. I want a person that is God fearing that will use this money to finance churches,orphanages 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 after i sought for a divine direction from God, because as a human its not really easy with making this decision, besides, i dont have any child of my own that will inherit this money and my husband's relatives are not Christians and I don't want my husband's hard earned money to be misused by unbelievers. I don't want a situation where this money will be used in an ungodly manner. Hence the reason for taking this bold decision. I am not afraid of death since I know where I am going. I know that I am going to be in the bosom of the Lord. Exodus 14 VS 14 saysthat "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 soundless voice and 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 beleive. Please if you are interested in using this fund for the work of God,send to me your full names,contact address,phone#, age&occupation to enable me give it to my lawyer for immediate arrangement with the security company on how the consignments that contained the fund will be delivered to you.I want you and the church to always pray for me because the lord is my fortress. My happiness is that I lived a life worthy of a Christian. Whoever that wants to serve the Lord must serve him in spirit and truth. Please always be prayerful throughout your life. Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated herein.Hoping to hearing from you soon.Yours in Christ, Mrs Sherry Morgan
