Subject: For Charity
Dear beloved in Christ
I am Margareta Aberg from Sweden. I am married to late åberg David of
blessed memory who worked with Sweden embassy in South Africa for twelve
years before he died in the year 2000. We are 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 devoted Christians. Since his death I
too have been battling with both cancer and fibroid problem. When my late
husband was alive he deposited the sum of (US$15.5Million ) with a security
company firm in Europe.
Recently, my doctor told me that I would not last for the next three months
due to cancer problem. Though what disturbs me most is my stroke
sickness.Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to either a
charity organization, devoted Christian individual or God fearing person
that will utilize this money the way I am going to give instruction with all
sincerity to fund churches, orphanages, widows and also propagating the word
of
God miracle.
The Word of God emphasizes so much on God benevolence that i make this
decision because I don't have any child that will inherit this money and my
husband relatives are not God fearing, for they are into idolatry worship
and I don't want a situation where this money will be used in an unholy
manner. Hence the reasons for taking this bold decision. I know that after
death I will be with God the most beneficent and most merciful. I don't need
any telephone communication in this regard because of my health, and all so,
because of the presence of my husbands relatives around 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 shallgive you the contact of the Finance
Security Company in Europe where the diplomatic consignment was Deposited
for safekeeping.
I will also issue an order of authority to the security company, authorizing
them that the said luggage have being willed to you and a copy of such
authorization will be forwarded to you. I want you and the believers /
community where you reside to always pray for me. My happiness is that I
lived a true devoted life worthy of emulation. Whosoever, that wants to
serve God must serve him in truth and fairness.
Please always be prayerful all through your life. Any delay in your reply
will give room in sourcing for another person /organization for this same
purpose. You will have 20% out of the total amount for all your time to
carry out this dream and to cover whatever expenditures to claim this money.
Until I hear from you today unfailingly.,my dream will rest squarely on your
shoulders.
May the Almighty God continue to guide and protect us.
Peace of the lord be with you as you get back to me
Margareta Aberg.
