Abidjan-Cote D'Ivoire
Dear beloved in Christ,
I am the above named person from Kuwait. I am married to Mr Kone Onah who
worked with Ivory Coast embassy in Kuwait for nine years before we left to
Abidjan where he was re-appointed as a navy officer before his untimely
death in the year 2006.
We were married for eleven years without a child. He died in his home
country Ivory Coast 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
$7.3Musd (Seven Million Three Hundred Thousand U.S. Dollars) in cash
concealed in a trunk box and deposits it with a
security company here in Abidjan which he declare and register it as family
valuables.
Recently, my Doctor told me that i have serious sickness which is cancer
problem. The one that disturbs me most is the high blood preasure sickness.
Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to a church or
individual that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct
herein. I want a church or individual that will use this fund for
orphanages, 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 to contact you.
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 don't need any telephone
communication in this regard because of my health hence the presence of my
husband's relatives were 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, with your
full address and telephone contacts, I shall give you the contact of the
security company here in Abidjan which he deposits trunk box. I will also
issue you an authority letter that will prove you the present beneficiary of
this trunk box(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.
Hoping to receive your reply.presently,I am still in my late husbands home
country abidjan capital city of ivory coast.
Remain blessed in the Lord.
Yours in Christ,
Mrs Monica Onah
