- Dearly Beloved, It is by his grace that I received GOD and alive today, having known the truth, I had no choice than to do what is lawful and right in the sight of God for eternal life and in the sight of man for witness of Gods mercy and glory upon my life. i am Mrs. Mauline Ghankay the wife of Dr Charles Ghankay, my husband worked with the Chevron/Texaco joint venture in Burundi as a financial analyst for twenty one years six months before he died in the year 2006. We were married for twenty-seven years without a child. My Husband died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days. Before his death we were both born again Christians. Since his death I decided not to re-marry or even try getting a child outside the matrimonial home which our heavenly lord is against. When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of US $8.5M. (Eight Million Five Hundred Thousand U.S. Dollars) with a security institution in Europe. Presently, this money is still with the in!
stitution and its management has just wrote me as the next of kin to come forward to endorse for the release of this money or rather issue a letter of authority to somebody else to receive it on my behalf if I cannot come over. I'm hospitalized in a hospital in Netherlands presently where I have been undergoing treatment for esophageal cancer. I have since lost my ability to talk and my doctors have told me that I have only a very shot time to live and no one knows when that will occur. It is my last wish to see that this money is well distributed to charity organizations any where in the World,Because relatives and friends to my late husband have plundered so much of our wealth since my illness, I cannot live with the agony of entrusting this huge responsibility to any of them. Please, I am begging you in the name of the Almighty God to help me Stand and collect the Funds from the Bank. I want a person that is God fearing who will use this money judiciously to fund orphana!
ges and widows centres and propagating the word of the Almighty God an
d also assist the tsunami and other less previleged victims. I took this decision because I don't have any child that will inherit this money and my husband relatives are not GOD fearing and I don't want my husband's hard earned money to be misused by unbelievers. 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 where I am going to. I know that I am going to be in the bosom of the Lord.I do not need any telephone communication in this regard Because my soundless voice and presence of my husband's relatives around me, and veryly i don't want them to know about this decision and development. As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of Attorney who is in Europe as he will be the one to assist you in laying claims for these funds. Sincerely Yours In The Lord. Mrs Mauline Ghankay
