From Mrs. Maria Koffi.
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
a trunk box with a security company here in Cote D lvoire.Which contains the
sum of Ten Million United State Dollars, and gave me the deposit
certificates. Presently this money is still in the custody of the security
company here in Cote D lvoire, but the content of the consignment was not
made known to the security company as money rather it was decleared to them
as a family valuables belonging to his foreign partner in abroad for
security reasons.
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 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 needs 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 even good at all because they are
responsible for the death of my husband in other to have all my late
husband's properties 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 security company here in Cote d'lvoire who will
bring the consignment to you there in your country, or if you can come down
here to cliam the trunk box from the security company,it will be good too. I
also want you, church or an 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, I will issue you a letter of introduction and authorisation on
your acceptance so that you can follow up the procedure's incase i am no
more. 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. Hoping to
receive your response immedaitely. Thanks and Remain blessed in the Lord.
l remain yours sister in Christ.
Mrs. Maria Koffi.
