Dearest One.
Calvary Greetings to you. I’m Madam Stella Grant, 45yrs old, a citizen of Australia living in the east side of gold coast and mining region in Ghana West Africa. You may be wondering where I got your contact from but I have really taken my time in searching thoroughly; you came into my mind as the lord has directed me to and I’m willing to do so. I have pray and wished that you are God fearing, courageous, fulfilling and ambitious in life. I want you to know that after going through details I deemed it necessary to contact, all I want is ensure to try and do my will because each of my words or statements must not go unfulfilled reaching the unprivileged, orphanages and the needy as you are blessed.
I’m the above named but now undergoing cancer medical treatment here in the UK cancer medical care. I am married to Mr. Grant who worked with the Ghana gold and mine export for over a decade before he died. We were married for fifteen years with only one child. My husband died after a brief illness that lasted for two weeks. Before his death, he made a vow to use his wealth for the future hope of his only daughter and the less privileged in the society. Since his death I decided not to re-marry or get a child outside my matrimonial home. When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of ($9.5million US dollars) with Eco-bank in Accra Ghana. Presently, this money is still there.
Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not last for the next two months due to cancer problem. Though what disturbs me most is my stroke. Having known my condition I decided to donate some of the funds to an individual/orphanages and also better still have a God fearing guardian who will utilize these funds for the future of my only child (daughter) the way I am going to instruct herein since she can not go back to Australia due to my late husband did not have any relative as he is only child of his late parents.
I do not want my husband’s hard earned money to be misused or spent in the manner in which my late husband did not specify. I do not want a situation where this money will be used in an ungodly manner, hence my decision of taking this bold step is because of my evil family, I know that they wished me dead but 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 Almighty. With God all things are possible. My happiness is that I lived a life worthy of emulation. Whosoever that wants to serve the Almighty must serve him wholeheartedly in mind and soul and also in truth. Please always be prayerful all through your life.
Please assure me that you will act according to my specification herein. As soon as I hear from you, I will inform/ direct you on what to do, please since I am unable to talk; you can write to me via email while am still in the hospital but you can talk to my daughter by phone.
Hoping to hear from you,
Thank you and May the Almighty bless you,
Madam Stella Grant
