From: "Mrs Maria Kalawa" <faith4allc01@yahoo.ca> (may be fake)
Date: Wed, 21 Dec 2005 11:44:09 +0100
Subject: My Faithful Donation!
Sir/Madam,
I am Mrs Maria Kalawa ,from Kuwait.I am married to late
Mr Martin kalawa, who worked with Kuwait Embassy in Ivory Coast for
Twenty-Six years before he died in the year 2001,after a brief illness
that lasted for only five days.
We were married for Eighteen years with a
son (david) who later died in a motor accident.
Before the untimely death of my husband,we were both
born again Christians. Since after his death I decided
not to remarry or get a child outside my matrimonial
home which the Bible is against.
Recently,Following my ill health, my Doctor told me
that I may not last for the next eight months due to
my cancer problem.The one that disturbs me most is my
stroke sickness. and My also told me that in the next 2 months there is going to be a spread of this cancer to my bones and i will not live again ,Having known my condition I decided to
donate this fund to a Christain and individual and organization whom i know may need it and
will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct herein,according to the desire of my late
husband before his death.
While my late husband was alive he kept the sum of (US$1.8 M)(One
Million,Eight hundred Thousand United States Dollar)
in a General Trust Account with a prime bank in
Cote d'Ivoire. Presently,this money is still with the bank.
I want this fund to be used in liberation work Activities
like, help to Pastors families ,Orphanages, less previllaged in the society and Christain schools, and poor people in your amidst and up keeping of the Churches and for 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 and I want my husband's efforts to be used help humanity. 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 shall give you the
contact of the bank in Abidjan. I will also issue you
the documents that will prove you the present
beneficiary of this fund.
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. Contact me any delay in your reply
will give me room in sourcing another 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 Maria Kalawa
