Subject: Dearest Beloved One,
Dearest Beloved One,
Perhaps this would go down as the most difficult letter i
will ever attempt to right in my life.
I am not sure that it will adequately conveys the remorse I
feel at this moment how do I begin my story? How do I tell
this story without shedding tears Tears of sorrow Oh God I
think you for giving me this opportunity to air my view and
to share this story with some one.
I am Mrs. Williams Kokou from Ivory Coast. I was married to
Mr.Late Mr Wiliams Kokou who was a contractor with the
government of Cote D'Ivoire before he died in the year 2003
after few days in the hospital.The doctor said his death
was as a result of poison.
We were married for so many years with two small children a
girl of 18yrs and a baby boy of 22 year.Before his death we
were both born again Christian.
When my late husband was alive he deposited t he sum of
$14.500 Million with a Bank in Cote D lvoire. Presently this
money is still in the custody of the Bank in Cote D lvoire.
Recently, my Doctor told me that it is very likely i will
die within the next nine months due to cancer problem.
Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to a
church,organization or good person thatwill utilize this
money the way I am going to instruct here in.
I want a church,organization or good person that will use
this fund for orphanages, widows and other people that need
help and also 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". l took this decision because I have two
children who are still small and that will inherit this
money later in life through the care of a good God fearing
Gardian and my husband relatives are not Christians not
even good a t all because they are the one that responsible
for the death of my husband in other to have all my late
husband's prperty and I don't want my husband's efforts to
be used by those that conspired for his death.
I don't want them to know about this development and l know
that With God all things are possible This is why I am
taking this decision.Though it was very painful to hear this
kind of news from my doctor but I am not afraid of death
because I know where I am going. I know that I am going to
be in the bosom of the Lord.
I don't think there is need for any telephone communication
in this regard because of my health but the important thing
to me is for you to do what i will require you in this
regard. As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the
contact of the Bank in Cote d' lvoire.
I will also issue a letter of authorization to the bank
that will prove you the present beneficiary of this money.
I also want you, church or the organization to always pray
for me because the lord is my only shepherd.
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.Any delay
inyour reply will give me room in sourcing another
goodperson, church,organization for this same
purpose.
Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I Stated
herein. Hoping to receive your response immedaitely. You may
contact my son through this number(00225.0836_7276 )
if you desire to speak to him.
Thanks and Remain blessed in the Lord.
l remain yours sister in Christ.
Mrs. Williams Kokou.
