I was divinely inspired to pick your name among other names found in the database after series of prayers/fasting for God's direction.

I was happily married to Dr Kevin Moses who worked with Malaysian embassy here in Cote d'Ivoire for nine years before he died in the year 2004.We were happily married for eleven years without a child. He died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days.Before his untimely death, he was involved in the exportation of Cocoa and Coffee apart from working with the embassy. We were both born again Christians his death(May his gentle soul rest in perfect peace). Since his death I decided not to re-marry or get a child outside my matrimonial home, which the Bible is against. For this reason my husband's family decided to send me away from my husband's house and seized our properties which includes Houses, Cars etc. When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of($8.6(Eight Million, six hundred thousand U.S.Dollars) with one finance/security company here in Abidjan, Cote d'Ivoire, and this money is the only thing that his family did not know about among my husband's siezed properties, and presently, this money is still with the Security Company. Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not last for the next six months due to cancer problem. Though what disturbs me most is my partial paralysis. Having known my condition I have decided to donate this fund to a church/mosque or betterstill a Christian/Moslem individual that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct here in. I want somebody that will use this to fund churches, Mosques, orphanages etc and for the propagation of the word of God and also to ensure that the house of God is maintained. The good book said, blessed is the hand that giveth and I believe and hold onto this word. You will assist in the disbursment of this money as well as keeping your own share. As you can see from my explanations above, you will assist me as well as assist yourself. However, you have to assure me and also be ready to go into agreement with me that you will not disappear with the whole money. If you agree to my terms, kindly respond to this mail. Waiting for your urgent response. Thank you and God bless. My best regards, Mrs.Mary moses
