FROM MRS.FAITH ANTHONIA ADHIKARI.
ABIDJAN COTE D' IVOIRE
WEST AFRICA

Dearest,

I am Mrs Faith Anthonia Adhikari from India. I am married to Late Mr Daniel
Adhikari who worked with India embassy in Ivory Coast for nine years before
he diedin the year 2001. We were married for eleven years without a child.He
died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days.

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 $5.5Million (Five Million Five Hundred Thousand U.S. Dollars)in
one of the International Banks here in Abidjan.

Recently, my Doctor told me that I have serious sickness which is cancer
problem. The one that disturbs me most is my stroke sickness. Having known
my condition I decided to donate this fund to a church or individual that
will utilize it the way I am going to instruct herein.

I want a God fearing person that will use this fund for orphanage Homes,widows,
propagating the word of God and to endeavour that the house of God is maintained.
The Bible made us to understand that Blessed is the hand that gives, I took
this decision because I don't have any child that will inherit
this money and I don' t want my husband's efforts to be wasted or abandoned
or a situation where this money will be used in an ungodly way.

Due to my health conditions, I have forwarded all the necessary documents
required for this fund transfer to the bank and also an Authority Letter
Directing the bank to transfer this fund to your account as soon as you
Identify yourself to the bank as the fund recipient.

Kindly contact the bank with the these Information's below and request for
this fund as I have directed you.

MR IBRAHIM ROCHAS.
DIRECTOR INTERNATIONAL REMITTANCE DEPT.
BIAO BANK ABIDJAN COTE D IVOIRE.
TEL, 00225 07100377
EMAIL,bioa_remitt@yahoo.fr

Hoping to receive your reply Immediately.
Yours in Christ,
Mrs Faith Anthonia Adhikari.
