Subject: GIFT OF SISTER GREA ANGELA


Dear friends,

I greet you in the name of our lord Jesus Christ, we must adore our lord Jesus Christ with all our heart because we are intended â to remain under the protection of its oiling, obedience with his commands is the goal of the life, which honours it will be kept under its hand of blessing.

I am Mrs Angela Salige Abisa organization of Koweït. I am married with Mr. Raymond Williams who worked with the embassy of Koweït in Côte.d'ivoire during nine years before it does not die in the year 2003. We were married during eleven years without child. He died after an abrupt disease which lasted only four days.

Before its death we were all the two Christians and we liked one and the other, this is why after his death I decided not to me remarier or to have a child apart from my matrimonial house because the bible is against that. As my late husband was alive it had deposited the sum of ($7.000 000.) seven million Dollars American in Bank here has Abidjan in Côte.d'ivoire. Currently, this money is always within the company.

Recently, my doctor said to me that I will not live more than eight month because of a cancer. What disturbs me more than the cancer of which I am reached is the anguish about the recovery and of the Re-investment of the goods of fire of my husband. After having known my health I decided to give these funds to an organization of charity which will use this money in the manner that I will indicate below. I want to create an organization which will employ these funds to create orphanages, schools and churches, to deal with the widows, to propagate the word of God and to make so that the house of God is maintained. The bible taught us to understand that "blessed is the hand which gives". I made this decision because I do not have any child who will inherit this money and the parents of my husband are not Christians, I do not want that the efforts of my husband are wasted by unbelievers.

I do not want one of this money is employed in a diabolic way. This is why I make this decision. I am not afraid of not died consequently I know where I go. I know that I will be in the heart of the lord darling Christ.

Exoduses 14 A 14 said that "the lord will defend my cause and I my peace will obtain". I do not wish any telephone call on this subject because of my health and because of the presence of the parents of my husband around me. I do not want that they know what I With God all does are possible. As soon as I receive your answer I will give you the contact from the company here in Abidjan in Côte.d'ivoire. I will also send a letter of authorization to you which will bottom you as a current recipient of these funds. I want that you and the members of your church always request for me because the lord is my shepherd and I will not miss anything. My happiness is that I lived a worthy and Christian life. That which wants to serve the lord must serve it in the spirit of the truth.

Please always request for your safety. Contact me on this following address of mail (abisa20010@yahoo.fr) by delaying your answer you will oblige me to contact another church or another person of confidence with a this same aim.

Please ensure me that you will act by respecting the instruction which I enumerated above.
I will espérerai to receive your answer very soon. Be blessed by darling.

Yours sister as a Christ,
Angela Salige Abisa.
