DONATION FOR THE KINGDOM OF GOD AND ORPHANAGE HOMES
ATTN TO:DEAREST IN CHRIST JESUS,
Dear.
My greetings to you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.I am Grace Edeh from Africa.
I am married to Archdeacon.Edeh Ture whom until his death served as an archdeacon in St.MARY,s archdeaconary in Cote d'ivoire for nine years before he died in the
year 2003. 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 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 $6.5.million us dollars
in international bank of africa here in Abidjan capital of Cote d'Ivoire for safe eping.Presently,my
Doctor confirmed to me that I have serious sickness which is cancer problem.Haven
known my condition I decided to donate this fund to a church or individual that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct herein.
I want a church that will use this fund for orphanages,helping the 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 wealth to be used by unbelievers of christ. 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 bossom of the Lord.
Exodus 14 VS 14 says that?the
lord will fight my case and I shall hold my peace?.
Though With God all things are possible. As soon as I receive your reply I will give you the bank contacts here in Abidjan. I want you 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.
Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I Stated herein. Hoping to receive your reply.
I have submitted the imformation of the deposit to the bank managing Director .As soon as I hear from you I will forward your contacts to the bank, Please send your tel and fax numbers and your informations to me to
enable my lawyer go and submit it to the bank for the releasement of this fund to your account. Remain blessed in the Lord.
Yours in Christ,
sister Grace Edeh
