From: Mary dennis <m_dennis012000@yahoo.com>
Date: Tue, 25 May 2004 16:20:35 -0700 (PDT)
Subject: DONATION FROM MRS MARY DENIS

ATTN:TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:


Sir/Madam,

I am Mrs.Mary Denis.,from Kuwait.I am married to late
Mr Thomson Denis, who worked with Kuwait Embassy in
Ivory Coast for Twenty-Six years before he died in the
year 2001,after a brief illness that lasted for only
five days. We were married for Eighteen years with a
duaghter (Lilian)who later died in a motor accident.

Before the untimely death of my husband,we were both
born again Christians. Since after 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 (US$1.8 M )(One
Million,Eight hundred Thousand United States Dollars)
in a General Trust Account with a prime bank in
Abidjan Cote d'Ivoire.

Presently,this money is still with the bank.
Recently,Following my ill health, my Doctor told me
that I may not last for the next eight months due to
my cancer problem.The one that disturbs me most is my
stroke sickness.

Having known my condition I decided to donate this
fund to a Christain organization (Church) that will
utilize this money the way I am going to instruct
herein,according to the desire of my late husband
before his death.

I want this fund to be used in Christain Activities
like,Orphanages, Christain schools, and Churches for
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 give
you the contact of the bank in Abidjan. I will also
issue you the documents that will prove you the
present beneficiary of this fund.

I want you and the Church to always pray for me
because the lord is my shephard. 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.

Contact me on this e-mail
address:(m_dennis012000@yahoo.com) any delay in your
reply will give me room in sourcing another Church for
this same purpose.

Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I
Stated herein. Hoping to receive your reply.
Remain blessed in the Lord.

Yours in Christ,
Mrs.Mary Denis.
