Subject: Donation for the Lord


Donation for the Lord
From: Mrs Doris Nguessan,
Dear beloved .

I am Mrs Doris Nguessan,am married to Mr.K.Nguessan who worked with the France Embassy for Nine years before he died in the year 2004.We were married for many years with only a Son about 9 year old. He died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days.Before his death we were both born again Christian.Since his death I decided not to remarry or get another child outside my Matrimonial home which the Bible is against.
When my late husband was alive he told me about deposit the sum of US$10.5M,(Ten Million Five Hundred Thousand united states dollars) in a Security Finance Company which he declear the content in the Trunk Box as a Family valuables and artworks to the security company officials.Presently this money is still in the custody of the Security Finance Company.Recently,my Doctor told me that I would not last for the next eight 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 one part of the fund to take Good care of my only son both in his eduction carrier, Financial life and Christian life and second part for the orphanages,widows and for other peoples that needs help and also 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"l took this decision because I dont want my only Son to
suffer and beside 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 properties and did not want my husband's efforts to be used by those that conspired for his death.

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"I don't need any telephone communication in this regard because of my health hence the presence of my husband's relatives around me always.

I don't want them to know about This development and I know that With God all things are possible.As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the lawyer that will assist us in this project I will also issue a letter of authorisation to the Security Finance company that will prove you the present beneficiary of the Trunk Box also want you,church or the organisation to always pray for me because the lord is my only 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.

Please always be prayerful all through your life.Contact me on the this email address and any delay in your reply will give me room in souring another good person, church,organization for this same purpose.Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I Stated herein.

Hoping to receive your response immediately.

Thanks and Remain blessed in the Lord.

I remain yours sister in Christ.
Mrs Doris Nguessan,
