Subject: Dearest One in the lord,
Dearest One in the lord,
I am Mrs. Maria Koffi from Ivory coast cote d'ivoire.I was married to Mr.Stephen Koffi 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 without a child. Before his death we were both born again Christian. Since his death I decided not to remarry or get a child outside my matrimonial home which the Bible is against.
When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of $6 Million with a Bank in Cote D lvoire. Presently this money is still in the custody of the Bank in Cote D
lvoire., 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 that will utilize
this money the way I am going to instruct herein.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 don't have any child that will inherit this money and
my husband relatives are not Christians not even good at 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 thatWith 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
thisregard 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 here 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.
Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I Stated herein. Here
is my private email address,[maria.koffi001@yahoo.com]
Hoping to receive your response immedaitely.
Thanks and Remain blessed in the Lord.
l remain yours sister in Christ.
Mrs. Maria Koffi
