Subject: Dear in Chris
Dear in Christ,
Pls.To whom It May Concern..
I am Mrs Rose Aku from Kuwait.I am married to Mr Ndu Aku .He worked with
Kuwait embassy here in Nigeria 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 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 $5.6Million (Five
Million six hundred thousand U.S.
Dollars)in one of the international Banks here in Nigeria.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 donate this fund to a church that will utilize this money the
way I am going to instruct herein. I want a church that will use this fund
for orphanages, widows, 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 plenty of relatives are not Christians and I don?t want my
our 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. As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of
the Bank here in
Nigeria,and you've to contact them for onward transferring of the fund to
your destination.
I will also issue you an authority letter that will prove you the present
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.Contact me on the above
e-mail address (mrsroseaku@earthlink.net) and any delay in your reply will
give me room in sourcing another church for this same purpose.
Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I Stated herein. Hoping
to receive your reply.
Remain blessed in the Lord.
Yours in Christ,
Mrs Rose Aku
