I am Mrs. Monica Kumar Of Cape Verde, I married
with Mr. Kumar Gary Waterman of INDIAN origin which
worked with HCR(haut commisariat of the refugies)in
dimension of Cote D'Ivoire during nine years before
he dead in 2005. We had married for eleven years and
we have only one child some years before his death.
It is dead after a brief disease that lasted only four
days.


He died after a short sickness which lasted only four
days. Before his death we were both of enthusiasts
christian. My late husband, deposited the sum of 11.2
Million $ american (Eleven million Two hundred and
thousand Dollars american) in a bank here in Cote D'Ivoire
Abidjan. Recently, my doctor informed me that I would
suffer from a serious disease: called cancer. The evil
which disturbs me more is hypertension.

After having known my state I decided to give these
funds to a CHURCH or a person who will use this money
such as I would inform it. I thus seek a CHURCH or a
person of confidence which will put these funds at the
services of the orphanages, widows, thus propagating
the word of God and to make so that the work of GOD is
maintained.


The BIBLE declares that the hand is blessed which
gives. I made this decision because I do not have
anybody who will take care of this money over here
than to donate it to the orphan, I am at your
disposal. My husband were Indian and I never had the
occasion to also know his parents.Me I do not have any
close relations only some cousins lonitaine in whom I
do not have any confidence reason for which I make
this decision.

I do not fear death consequently I know that I will
join the father celeste. I know that I will be in the
kingdom of God Un verse of the BIBLE says this:"God
will defend my cause and I will remain in his peace".
As soon as I receive your answer I would send to you
the contact of the bank here


It is necessary also note as my child is very young and also
important to me and I don't want any body to handle him
bad, But all I want is for him to be in good hand. I took
this decision because I have not anyone to entrust my child.
But if you think to be able to provide willingness to accept
my child as yours. that you will take care as your son,
I am at your disposal.

I will also join a letter of authority which will
prove to you that I benefit current of this fund. I
want that you and your family always requests for me
so that GOD is always my hope.My happiness is that I
lived a life of worthy Christian. why I serve GOD must
serve it in the spirit and the truth. Please remain in
the prayer all your life. You will take 25% for yourself
and 50% for building the motherless babies home for the
orphanages and 25% for my little son Emmanuel this will be
for his eduactions and life investment.

To contact me with the address e-mail,
monicakumar2008@yahoo.co.jp, above for more information,
please I reassure that you will act as consequence as
I evoked Ci-high. While expect receiving your answer
May GOD bless you. Currently, I reside in a residence of
Abidjan Cote D'Ivoire
