Subject: Bless You.
Dear
My name is Mrs. Stephanie. Cassidy a (PARIS) married to Mr. John Cassidy who worked with French company in Accra Ghana for nine years before he died in the year 2001. We were married for eleven years without a child. He died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days. Before his death he was both born again Christians. When my late husband was alive we deposited the sum of$3.5Million (Three million five Hundred Thousand U.S. Dollars) with a deposit Company. Contained in trunk box framed as valuable family belongings. Presently, this money is Still with the deposit Company.
Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not long due to 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 good individual that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct here in. I want a person that will use this fund to orphanages, Research centers 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 donât have any child that will inherit this money and my husbandâs relatives are not good and I donât want my family hard earned money to be misused. I donât want a situation where this money will be used in a bad 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 VS 14 says that the lord will fight my case and I shall hold my peace. I donât need any telephone communication in this regard because of my health because of the presence of my family relatives around me always.
I donât 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 pacific deposit Company. I will also inform the Trust company to issue you a letter of authority that will empower you as the new beneficiary of this trunk box because they do not know the exact contents. I want you and the family to always pray for me because the lord is my shepherd. 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.
Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated here. Hope hearing from you soonest.Remain blessed in the name of the Lord.
Â
And please take note that the deposit company does not know the trunk box content money. As registered it as valuable family belongings.
Yours in Christ,
Sister Stephanie Cassidy.
