Subject: Donation From Mrs Prisca Benson
*Dearest in Christ,
Greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, I am Mrs Prisca Benson. from
Kuwait. I am married to Mr.Jerry Benson who worked with Kuwait embassy in
Ivory Coast for nine years before he died in the year 2005.We were married
for eleven years without a child. He died 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 US$3.5million dollars in a Bank here in Abidjan Cote
d'Ivoire.Presently, this money is still in bank.Recently, my Doctor told me
that I would not last for the next Eight months due to cancer problem. The
one that disturbs me most is my stroke sickness.
Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to a charity
organization that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct
herein. I want an organization that will use this fund for orphanages,
school and church ,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. 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 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 I shall give you the contact of
the Bank here in Abidjan Cote d'Ivoire.
I will also issue you an authority letter that will prove you the present
beneficiary of this 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. Please always be prayerful all through your life.
**Delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing another church for this
same purpose. Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I Stated
herein. Hoping to receive your reply. Remain blessed in the Lord.
Yours in Christ,
Mrs Prisca Benson*
