Subject: Remain Blessed Dear Pastor


Dear Pastor,

Compliment of the day to you.I am just regaining my strenght a bit after my first operation last week.At least I am strong enough to write to you.I was told by my lawyer that he has sent the form to you but unfortunatly the date has been closed.I want to know if its all that transpaired between you two, don't misunderstand it I do not trust my lawyer but he has allways frowned at my idea of donating this money to a foreign church.But what he did not know is that the idea of this donating this money out is the wish of my late husband's not my.So I must fullfile his wish for his kind blessed memory.

So if he has submitted the form why not look for a way to accept this donation or better still find a worthy church and pass it over to them for me.It has to be done once and for all for me to forget about it all.i have no need for it.

I will be waiting for your response urgently.

Remain Blessed

Sister J.Bukah
