FROM Madam Francoise Bigirimana
Medical Cabinet The health Dokui
Abidjan-Cote d'Ivoire
Greetings,
As you read this, I don't want you to feel sorry for me, because I believe everyone will die someday. My name is Madam Francoise Bigirimana from Rep of Burrundi, I have been diagnosed with esophageal cancer, which was discovered very late, due to my laxity in carrying for my health. It has defiled all forms of medicine, and right now I have only about a few months to live, according to medical experts.
I have since lost my power of speech and can only manage to write now, as that has been the only way I am able to communicate. I have not particularly lived my life so well, as I never really cared for anyone not even myself but my business. Though I am very rich, I was never generous, I was always hostile to people and only focus on my business as that is the only thing I cared for .
But now I regret all this as I now know that there is more to life than just wanting to have or make all the money in the world. I believe when God gives me a second chance to come to this world I would live my life a different way from how I have lived it. Now that I know my time is near, I have willed and given most of my properties and assets to my immediate and
extended family members and as well as a few close friends because I did not have any living child my son died in the heat of political struggle in the year 1996.
I want God to be merciful to me and accept my soul and so, I have decided to give alms to charity organizations, as I want this to be one of the last good deeds I did on earth. So far, I have distributed money to some charity organizations in Cambodia,and Rwanda. Now that my health has deteriorated so badly, I cannot do this my self any more.
I once asked members of my family to close one of my accounts and donate the money to charity organization in Eastern Europe and South Africa, they refused and kept the money to themselves.
Hence, I do not trust them anymore, as they seem not to be contented with what I have left for them. The last of my money which only few of them knows of is the huge cash (US$ 19.3 Million) kept in a TRUNK BOX deposit by my late Husband with one of the security company in ABIDJAN Cote d'Ivoire . The security company ask me to present the foreign partner of my late husband to enable them Transfer the trunk box to him this is the reason for me to contact you.
I will want you to help me claim this trunk box that contain the money from the security company as my late husband foreign partner and use the money to build a charity organization home to help the poor and the needy and this charity home will bear my name when I die.
waiting for reply.
Regards,
Madam Francoise Bigirimana
