DONATION FOR GOOD WORK OF GOD

Dear BRETHEN,

PLEASE ENDEAVOUR TO USE IT FOR GOOD WORK OF GOD.

I am the above named person from ABIDJAN. I am married to Dr.FERDINAND HILARY
EDWARD who worked with Abidjan embassy in KUWAIT for nine years before he
died in the year 2001. We were married for eleven years with only a child
Peter. He died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days. Before
his death we were both devoted Christian.

Since his death I decided not to re-marry or get another child outside my
matrimonial home.When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of
$16.6Million (sixteen Million U.S. Dollars) with one of the banks in Europe.
Presently, this money is still with the bank. Recently, my Doctor told me
that I would not last for the next three months due to cancer problem. though
what disturbs me most is my stroke and my only child Peter who I want to
travel out of this country for his education and better life.

Having known my condition I decided to donate part of this fund to the less
privilege and growth of Christian or better still a Muslim individual that
will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct herein, I want a
christian or individual that will use this fund for my son good future and
education,churches, orphanages and widows propagating the word of GOD and
to ensure that the house of GOD is maintained,35% for the work of God,15%
for you and 50% for my only son's education and future. The Holy Godspel
made us to understand that blessed is giveth. I took this decision because
I don't have any other child than Peter that will inherit all this money
and my husband relatives are not Christian 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 God.And I shall hold my peace.this regard because of my health, and because
of 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 Europe. I will also issue you a letter of authority that will empower
you as the original- beneficiary of this fund. I want you and the Church
to always pray for me. My happiness is that I lived a life of a worthy Christianity.
Whoever that wants to serve the GOD must serve him in truth. please always
be prayerful all through your life. Any delay in your reply will give me
room in sourcing for a Churuch or Christian individual for this same purpose.
Please assure me that you Will act accordingly as I stated herein. Hoping
to hear from you.
Remain blessed in the name of GOD.

Yours in christ,
MRS ROSE KABILA
