Subject: Dearest One in the lord.
Dearest One in the lord.
I am Mrs Maria Koffi, from Ivory Coast, Cote D'Ivoire. I was married to
Mr.Stephen Koffi who was a contractor with the government of Cote D'Ivoire
before he died in the year 2003 after few days in the hospital The doctor
said his death was as a result of poison.We were married for so many years
without a child. 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
a trunk box with a security company here in Cote D lvoire.Which contains the
sum of Us$22.million dollars.Presently this money is still in the custody of
the security company in Cote D lvoire but the consignment was not made known
to the security company as money rather it was decleared as a family
valuables to the security company for security reasons.
Recently, my Doctor told me that it is very likely i will die within the
next few months due to cancer problem. Having known my condition I decided
to donate this fund to a church,organization or good person that will
utilize this money the way I am going to instruct herein. I want a church
organization or good person that will use this fund for orphanages, widows
and other people that need help and also 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".
l took this decision because I don't have any child that will inherit this
money and my husband relatives are not Christians not even good at all
because they are the one that responsible for the death of my husband in
other to have all my late husband's property and I don't want my husband's
efforts to be used by those that conspired for his death. I don't want them
to know about this development and l know that With God all things are
possible This is why I am taking this decision.Though it was very painful to
hear this kind of news from my doctor but I am not afraid of death because I
know where I am going. I know that I am going to be in the bosom of the
Lord. I don't think there is need for any telephone communication in this
regard because of my health but the important thing to me is for you to do
what i will require you in this regard. As soon as I receive your reply I
shall give you the contact of the security company in Cote d'lvoire.
I will also issue a letter of authorization to the security company that
will prove you the present beneficiary of this consignment. I also want you,
church or the organization to always pray for me because the lord is my only
shepherd. 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.
Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I Stated herein.
Hoping to receive your response immedaitely.
Thanks and Remain blessed in the Lord.
l remain yours sister in Christ.
Mrs. Maria Koffi.
