Subject: Dearest One,
Dearest One,
PLEASE ENDEAVOUR TO USE IT FOR THE CHILDREN OF GOD.
My name is Mrs. Sympathy Peters a nationality of Cape Verde. I was married
to late Dr.Jerome Martins Peters who worked with Cape Verdian embassy in
Cote d'Ivoire for nine years before he died in the month March 2004. We were
married for twenty years with a child. He died after the illness that Lasted
for long four days. Before his death we were both born again Christians.
When my late husband was alive we deposited the sum of $5Million (Five
Million U.S. Dollars) with one of the banks here in Cote d'Ivoire .
Presently, this money is still with the bank.
Recently my Doctor told me that I would not last for the next three months
due to my cancer problem. Though what disturbs me most is my stroke. Having
known my condition I decided to donate this fund to church or better still a
Christian individual that will utilize this money the way I am going to
instruct here in. I want a person or church that will use this fund to
churches, orphanages, research centres 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 have a child that will inherit this money but
my son can not carryout this work only because I and my late husband decided
to use some of the money to work for God and live some for our son to have a
better live. Our son is just 16 year old now and has been in here since we
moved over to serve our country. My husband´s relatives are not Christians
and so I don´t want my families 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 to.I know that I am
going to be in the bossom of the Lord. Exodus 14 VS 14 says that the lord
will fight my case and I shall hold my peace. I dont want your telephone
communication in this regard because of my health conditon my Doctor told me
to avoid recieveing telephone call and because of the presence of my family
relatives around me always. I don´t want any of my husband family relatives
to recieve this money. With God all things
are possible.
As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the
Finance/Bank. I will also issue you a letter of authority that will empower
you as the new beneficiary of this fund. I want you and the church to always
pray for me because the lord is my shepherd. My happiness is that I live 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. Any delay in your reply
will give me room in sourcing for a church or Christian individual for this
same purpose. Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated
here.
Expecting to hearing from you, remain blessed in the name of the Lord.
Mrs.Sympathy Peters
