Calvary Greetings,
I greet you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ our Lord, we have to
worship our Lord Jesus christ with all our heart because we have determined
to remain under the covering of His anointing, Obedience to His purpose and
living a life that honours Him will keep us under His hand of blessing.
I am Lady Victoria Amin from Kuwait. I am married to Sir Phillipe Amin
who worked with Kuwait embassy in Ivory Coast for nine years before he died
in the year 2004.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 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 6.5million euro in a
Bank here in Abidjan Cote d'Ivoire. Presently, this money is still in
bank.Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not last for the next Eight
months due to cancer problem. The one that disturbs me most is my stroke
sickness. Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to a
charity organization that will utilize this money the way I am going to
instruct herein.
I want an organization or a God fearing individual that will use this fund
for orphanages, school and church ,widows, 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".I took this decision
because I don't have any child that will inherit this money and my husband
relatives are not Christians and I don't want my husband's efforts to be
used by unbelievers.
I don't want a situation where this money will be used in an ungodly way.
This is why I am taking this decision. I am not afraid of death hence I
know where I am going. 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 am standing on Malachi 3:10 which decreed that we should bring
tithes and offering to his store house.
I don't need any telephone communication in this regard because of my
health hence the presence of my husband's 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
here in Abidjan Cote d'Ivoire.
I will also issue you an authority letter that will prove you the present
beneficiary of this fund. I want you and the church to always pray for me
because the lord is my shephard. 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 in your reply
will give me room in sourcing another
church / Organisation or individual for this same purpose. Please assure me
that you will act accordingly as I Stated herein.
Hoping to receive your reply.
Remain blessed in the Lord.
Yours in Christ.
Lady Victoria Amin.
