Subject: ANNE BATES
Dearest One,
My name is Anne Bates a nationality of Sierra Leone. I am married to late Mr. Jonathan Bates who worked with Sierra Leone embassy in Ivory Coast for nine years before he died in the year October 2003. We were married for twenty years and we were blessed with a only a boy (Victor jr Bates) My late husband died after four days of illness. Before his death we were both born again Christians. When my late husband was alive we deposited the sum of US$6 Million (Six Million U.S.Dollars) with one of good depository here in Cote d'Ivoire and has it heard agency in Europe. Presently, this money is still with the depository, recently my Doctor told me that I would not last up to four months due to my cancer problem, Though what disturbs me most is my stroke.
Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to church or better still a Christian individual that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct them to. I want a person or church that will use these funds for the well being of churches, orphanages, research centres and widows propagating the word of God and to ensure that the house of God is maintained. The Bible made us to understand that blessed is the hand that grivet. I took this decision because I have a child that will inherit this money but my son can not carry out this work only because i and my late husband decide to use some of the money to work for God and live some for our children to have a better live. Our son is just a small boy and been grow up in Africa, he have low maturity and my husbands relatives are not Christians and I do not want my husband’s effort to be used by un-believers. I don’t want a situation where this money will be used in an ungodly manner.
Hence the reason for taking this bold decision. I am not afraid of death hence 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 don’t want your telephone communication in this regard because of my health also the presence of my husband family relatives around me always. I don’t want any of them to receive this money, With God all things are possible.
As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the Finance house. I will also issue you a letter of authority that will empower you as the new beneficiary of this fund. I want you and the church to always pray for me because the lord is my shepherd. My happiness is that I live 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 for a church or Christian individual for this same purpose.
Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated here.
Remain blessed in the name of the Lord.
Mrs. Anne Bates.
