Subject: Calvary greetings to you in the name of our Lord.
Calvary greetings to you in the name of our Lord. From Sister maria koffi Rue 12 Bp21 Williams Avenue Cocody. Abidjan Cote d'Ivoire.
Dear in our Lord Jesus Christ
My name is Mrs Maria Koffi, widow of late Mr David koffi, who served as a director in the Cocoa processing board before his untimely death after a long illness here in a hospital. Though his death was suspected to be the hand work of his close associates who travelled to France with him shortly before he became ill. But I leave that to the Almighty because i took courage in what the bible said in Isaiah35:7-10.
Before his death, he told me of a deposit of $2.800, 000.00 [two Million Eight hundred thousand US dollars] which he wanted to use for the purchase of cocoa processing machine. This money is presently in a bank here in Cote d' Ivoire. We didn't have any children hence my reason for this donation.
I am presently very ill in a hospital from the Stroke that happened to me shortly after the death of my husband. But if i remember what the Bible said in Ecc.7:8-9, then my heart is filled with gladness. I also thank God for the help and assistance i receiving from a nurse in the hospital who is also a believer (Nurse Theresa).
I want to donate this money for the service of God and his Children, and i want it to be used like i have said. And i believe God will guide you to achieve this purpose. In every situation, the bible teaches us that it is right to give thanks and praise to God.
Reply me very quickly so that i will inform you of the next step because of my worsening health condition and moreover, i am not worried or afraid of death because the bosom of the Lord is there for those of his children that served him in truth and spirit. Please pray for me.maria_koffi2007@terra.com
May the Lord guide and add more anointing upon you.
Sister in the Lord. maria koffi.
