>From Mrs. Janet Konan & David Junior.
Rue 12, Avenue 16 Agboville.
Abidjan - Cote D`Ivoire.
Dearest One,
My name is Mrs. Janet Konan, a nationality of Ivory Coast.I am married to
late Dr. Charles David Konan, who worked with France Embassy in Ivory Coast
for nine years before he died in the year 2003.We were married for twenty
years with a child. My husband died after a brief illness that lasted for
four days. Before his death, my husband deposited the sum of $5 Million with
one of the banks here in Ivoiry Coast ( Cote D' Ivoire ). Recently my Doctor
told me that I would not last for the next three months due to my cancer
problem although what disturbs me most is my stroke. Having known my
condition I have resolved to entrust this money into your kind custody so
that you will safeguard it for the benefit of my only son Charles and the
humanitarian work which my late husband wished to carry out.
You will use part of this fund to assist 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
giveth. I took this decision because I have a child that will inherit this
money but my son cannot carryout this work. My late husband and I decided to
use some of the money to work for God and leave some for our son to have a
better life. Our son is just 16 years old now and been grown up in Africa.
I dont want a situation where this money will be used in an ungodly manner
hence the reason for taking this bold decision of contacting you and
trusting in you. I am not afraid of death because I know where I am going. I
know that I am going to be in the bosom of the Lord. Exodus 14VS 14,says
that the Lord will fight my cause and I shall hold my peace.
I do not want your telephone communication in this regard because of my
health conditon; my Doctor told me to avoid receiving telephone calls and
because of the presence of my family relatives who are always around me.
You will be communicat with my son, his name is David Junior, on his
telephone because i have discussed this matter with him before writing to
you. I dont want any of my husband family relatives to recieve this money.
If you think that you can handle this, reach me by sending the following
information immediatly to me while replying this mail.
1- Your Name........
2- Postal Address.........
3- Date of Birth.........
4- Telephone and fax numbers.......
5- Profession with position........
I am expecting to hearing from you soon and please treat this matter as
private and confidential.
Remain blessed in the name of the Lord.
Mrs. Janet Konan
