DEAR IN CHRIST
I am Mrs Bintu wachira from Kenya. I am married to MrSolomon wachira who worked with kenyan embassy inSenegal for nine years before he died in the year2000. We were married for twenty seven years with achild He died after a brief illness that lasted foronly four days. Before his death, we were both bornagain Christian.Since his death, I decided not to remarry or get a child outside my matrimonial home which the Bible isagainst.When my late husband was alive he depositedthe sum of $7.5Million (seven million five hundredthousand U.S.Dollars) in two safe deposit boxes as family treasure in a security company here in DakarSenegal.
Presently, this money is still in thesecurity company.
Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not last forthe next eight months due to cancer problem. The onethat disturbs me most is my stroke sickness. Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to a church that will utilize this money the way I am going
to instruct herein. I want a church 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 of my only child that will inherit 25% from this money and help to secure agood education & accomodation and also for the sake of God i will like you take him as your child and been a guidiance to him whereby my husband relatives are not Christians and I don t want my husband efforts to be
used by unbelievers. I dont 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 . With God all things are possible.As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the security company in Dakar to contact
them on my behalf . 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 mustserve 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.Hoping to receive your reply.Remain blessed in the Lord.
Yours in Christ,
Mrs wachira
