Subject: Do this work for the glory of God
Dear in Christ, I know that this mail will come to reach you by surprise,
I am Mrs.Mary Gombo Johnson from Ivory Coast, I am married to late Mr.Bankole Hankman Imo from Ivory Coast, who is an contractor in Cote d'Ivoire for over Twenty-Six years before he died in the year 2004, after a brief illness that lasted for only five days.We were married for Eighteen years without a child.
Before the untimely death of my husband,we were both born again Christians and we serve the Lord with all our heart and I believe that if i die today,I will rest in the hands of almighty God.
I am contacting for an urgent help, my Doctor told me that I may not last for the next three months due to my cancer problem.The one that disturbs me most is my stroke sickness.
Having known my condition I decided to donate one Trunk box to a Christain organization (Church) or individual, that will utilize my donation the way I am going to instruct herein,according to the desire of my late husband before his death.
When my late husband was alive he deposited one trunk box with many gift items inside it,Such as ( 250-250 pixels-72.1kb GOLD and also 600-392 pixels -39-2kb Gold necklaces and pendants ) that worth up to $1.Million US and also the total sum of (US$700.000.00 )Seven hundred Thousand United States Dollars Cash ) inside one trunk box deposited with one security company here in Abidjan Cote d'Ivoire.
But the security company never know the contents of the trunk box as money because it was deposited as family vluable&treasure.
WIth your help,I want this trunk box and the money inside to be used in Christain Activities like,Orphanages, Christain schools, and Churches for propagating the word of God and to endeavor that the house of God is maintained.
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 or muslims.
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.
My happiness is that I lived a life of a worthy Christian woman. Whoever that Wants to serve the Lord must serve him in spirit and Truth.
Any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing another Church for this same purpose because right now,I am in the hospitral and I am using a good nursing Sister to write you this letter.
Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I Stated herein.
I have prayed and slept over it asking God to provide for me a Godly minded person that will assist me in this donation because I don't know the hour.
I will give you more details on how to receive the trunk box in my next mail.
May the almighty continue to guide and protect you.
Remain blessed in the Lord.
Love you all with the love of Christ Jesus.
Yours Sister in Christ,
Mrs Mary Johnson Gombo.
