Permit me to inform you of my desire of going into

Businee relationship.l got your contact name from the Philippines Chamber of Commerce and lndustry.l prayed over it and selected your name among other due to its'esteeming nature and recommandation given to me as reputable and trusworthy person.l must not hasitate to confid in you for this simple and sincere business.


ln briefy introduction, l am Mrs Lorelie Socorro.a nationality of Philippines . I am married to Mr. Navor Socorro who worked with Filipino embassy in Ivory Coast for nine years before he died in the year 2001. We were married for eleven years without a child. he died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days.Before his death we were living together in good harmony. When my late husband was alive we deposited the sum of USD$1.5Million (One Million Five hundred thousand U.S. Dollars)in one Bank in COTE D' IVOIRE . Presently, this money is still with the Bank. Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not last for the next three

months due to cancer problem. Though what disturbs me most is my stroke.


Having known my condition I decided to donate this

fund to Ophanage (less previlages) or to an individual that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct here acording to my desire. I needed good and God fearing partner that will use this fund for the helping orphanages, Research centres and widows propagating the word of God and to ensure that the house of God is maintained. The Bible made us to understand that blessed is the hand that grivet.


I took this decision because I don't have any child that will inherit this money and my husband,relatives are not Christians and never loved me for once through out my marriage expereince with my late husband. therefor,I don't want my family hard earned money to be misused by unbelievers. I don't want a situation whereby this money will be used in an ungodly manner.Hence the reason for taking this bold decision. I am not afraid of death hence I know where I am going to.


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 as my Medical Doctor advised and because of the presence of my family 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 whom you will contact and work with them concerning the deposited money in the Bank. I will also issue you a letter of authority that will empower you as the partner and the beneficiary of the money.


I want you and the church to always pray for me because the lord is my shepherd.My happiness is that I lived a life of a aged mother and 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 looking for contact for this same purpose.

Please assure me that you will act Accordingly as I stated here. Expecting to hearing from you.kindly reply me on this my private email address " mrs-lns@satellite-email.com "

Remain blessed in the name of the Lord.

Yours in Christ,

Mrs Lorelie N. Socorro.
