Subject: URGENT CALL FOR GOD'S MINISTRY
From;Mrs.Smith. P. Christy
Attn,
My greetings to you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.I am
Mrs.Smith. P. Christy from Abidjan, Cote d' Ivoire. I am married to Archdeacon.Bamba whom untill his death served as an archdeacon in the St.Micheal's archdeaconry in Ivory Coast for nine years before he died in the year 2002.
We were married for eleven years without a child. He died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days. And 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 $8 000 000 USD
(Eight million United States Dollars) under suspense account in one of
the famous banks here in Abidjan capital city of Cote d'Ivoire for safe
keeping.
Presently,my Doctor confirmed to me that I have serious sickness which
is cancer problem. The one that disturbs me most is my stroke sickness.
Having 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 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
will give you the contact of the bank here in Abidjan.
I want you and the church to always pray for me because the lord is my
shephard. My happiness is that I am living 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. Any delay in your
reply will give me room in sourcing another church or individual for this
same purpose. Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I
Stated herein. Hoping to receive your reply.
Due to present condition of my health,I was warned by my doctor to
avoid receiving or making any call.For that,I have submitted the
imformation of the deposite to an Abidjan based lawyer.As soon as I hear from
you I will forward to you the lawyer's contact.
Remain blessed in the Lord.
Yours in Christ,
Mrs Smith. P. Christy.
