Dear Beloved in Christ,
It is by the grace of God that I received Christ,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.Sheila Johnson the wife of Mr Harold Johnson, my husband worked with the Chevron Texaco in
Kenya for twenty years before he died in the year2001.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$3.5M.(Three Million Five Hundred
Thousand U.S.Dollars) with a Bank in Europe.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 Kenya 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. 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 are possible.
As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of my attorney who is in Europe as he
will be
the one to assist you in laying claims for this funds.
