[ BEGIN SCAM E-MAIL ]   From:     Sarah Johnson <sarahjohnson878300@yahoo.in> Reply-to:     sara_johnson2009@live.com Subject:     MRS.SARAH JOHNSON (PLEASE HELP ME OUT). Date:     Sun, 14 Dec 2008 16:51:10 +0530 (IST) (06:21 EST) I have a new email address! You can now email me at: sarahjohnson878300@yahoo.in - Dear Sir, I am Mrs. Sarah Johnson from Ghana, presently staying in Germany. I am married to Mr. Johnson Williams who worked with Nigeria embassy in Loma-Togo for Ten years before he died in the year 2004.We were 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 born again Christian. Since his death I decided not to remarry or get a child outside my matrimonial home, which the Bible is against. When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of $9.8Million (NINE Million Eight hundred thousand U.S.Dollars) with one Security Company in Europe. Presently, this money is still with the Security Company. Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not last for the next Eight months due to cancer problem. The one that disturbs me most is my stroke sickness. Having known my condition I decided to keep this fund in Europe. I want an organization or an individual that will use this fund for orphanages, widows, propagating the word of God and to endeavor 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 relatives are not Christians and I don't want my husband’s efforts to be used by unbelievers. I don’t want a situation where this money will be used in an ungodly way. This is why I am taking this 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 don't need any telephone communication in this regard because of my health hence the 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 inform the security company in Europe that you are the beneficiary of the said consignment you will need to go and claim this fund in Europe. I will also issue you an authority letter that will prove you the present beneficiary of this fund. I want you and the organization 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. Any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing another person for this same purpose. Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated herein. And Remain blessed in the Lord. Yours in Christ Mrs. Sarah Johnson.   [ END SCAM E-MAIL ]
