Subject: Dear Beloved,
Dear Beloved,
It is by the grace of God that I received Christ,having known the truth,I
had no choice than to do what islawful and right in the sightof God for
eternal life and in the sight of man for witness of God & his mercies and
glory upon my life.
I am Mrs.Rebecca Van Horn the wife of Mr.Ruud Van horn from Singapore,my
husband worked with the Chevron/Texaco for twenty years before he died in
the year 2001.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$18.5M.(Eighteen Million Five Hundred Thousand
U.S.Dollars) with a Security Company in Nigeria Presently,this money is
still with the Security company 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 St George's Hospital,
Blackshaw Road, United Kingdom 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 Security Company.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 bolddecision.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 are possible.
As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the security
company, so that you can contact them directly
for the release of the funds to you ..
Mrs Rebecca Van Horn
