through a perish priest who took me up and promise to train me, but before
then I was an orphan, after that my husband get to know me from my working
place as an Accountant to Yokoz Oils.

Before his death I and him (husband) make a deposit of US$15.5m in the
Security Company in Europe for safe keeping as we have further plan for
investment in future before his death put us apart.
Right now, I have pressure from my husband relatives who are after sharing
and confiscating my husband properties without considering my present health
condition, they went as far as compelling my doctor to do away with me
through poisons injection so that they can scale through in their plan.
As God may have it, there plan was revealed me and now because of the
position of illness, I cannot make any further move, presently I am lying on
my sick bed and I have decided with my God to will my funds and properties

fund being deposited in a Security Company to claimed on my behalf by having
the deposit certificate to proceed for the claim from the Security Company.
What I required is assurance after claimed, half of the fund will be willed
