Subject: Greetings From Mrs Magdaline Tukurah
Dearest One In Christ,
May the peace God be unto you as you read this mail in jesus name, amen. I am Mrs Magdaline Tukurah from Israel. I am married to Engr. Robert Tukurah, who was the Chief Executive Director of an Oil and Gas producing Company here in Cote D' Ivoire for eleven years before he died in the year 2004.
We were married for eleven years with-out a child. He died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days. Before his sudden 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 $3.5Million (three.five Million U.S. Dollars) in a bank here in Abidjan Cote D' Ivoire, and adviced me that he used my name as the next of kin and the beneficiary of the fund deposited in the bank.
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 now, I have decided to donate this fund to a church or individual that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct herein. I want a church or individual that will use this fund for the helping of the orphanages, 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 giveth. 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 in vain. 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 and With God all things are possible.
As soon as I receive your reply in acceptance of working with me in the kingdom of God, I shall give you the contact of the bank where my late husband deposited the money here in Abidjan Cote D' Ivoire. 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.
Always be prayerful all through your life.Reach me on this e-mail address:tukurahfamily@yahoo.com for more information, and any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing another church or individual for this same purpose. Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I Stated herein.
I am hoping to receive your urgent reply in acceptance to fellow my instructions herein, and i pray you remain blessed in the Lord.
Yours Sincerely in Christ,
Mrs Magdaline Tukurah.
