Subject: Dear Beloved in Christ,
Dear Beloved in Christ,
It is by the grace of God that I received Christ in my life,
knowing the truth and the truth have set me free, 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 & his mercies and glory upon
my life.
I am Mrs. Juliet Edwards the wife of Mr. Frank Edwards, my
husband worked with the Chevron Texaco in Egypt for twenty
years before he died in the year 2002.We were married for
ten years without a child. My Husband 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 (US$3.M.)
with a Bank in Nigeria. Presently, this money is still with
the Bank and the management just wrote me as the beneficiary
to come forward to sign for the release of this money or
rather issue a letter of authorization to somebody to
receive it on my behalf if I can not come over.
Presently, I'm in a hospital in Ghana where I have been
undergoing treatment for esophageal cancer. I have since
lost my ability to talk and my doctors have told me that I
have only a few weeks to live. It is my last wish to see
this money distributed to charity organizations anywhere in
the World. Because 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 name of God to help me Stand and
collect the Funds from the Bank and as soon as the fund
enter your account take 30% of the total money, while 70%
will be for work of God.
I want a person that is God fearing that will use this money
to fund 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 because I don't have any
child 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 hence I know where I am going. I
know that I am going to be in the bosom of the Lord. Exodus
{14 VS14} 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 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 a are
possible.
As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact
to the Bank in Nigeria where the money is been deposited. I
will also issue you a letter of authority and deposited
certificate of claim that will prove you as the new
beneficiary of this fund.
Psalm 23
Your in Christ,
Mrs. Juliet Edwards
STAY BLESS
