From: lizzy pokossi <mrslizzpokossi03@yahoo.co.uk>
Date: Wed, 4 Jul 2007 11:21:59 +0100 (BST)
Subject: FROM LIZZ POKOSSI
Dear ,
Pls contact me on this mail address(mrslizzpokossi2007@yahoo.ca)
I am Mrs.Liss Pokossi from philippine but now undergoing medical treatment now in Abidjan Cote D'Ivoire West Africa. I am married to Late Dr.Nicol Pokossi who worked with philippine embassy here in Abidjan Cote D'Ivoire for twelve years before he died in the year 2003. We were married for fifteen years without a child.
He died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days. Before his death we were both born again Christians. Since his death I decided not to re-marry or get a child outside my matrimonial home.
When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of $9.5Million (Nine Million Five hundred thousand U.S. Dollars) in a bank here in Abidjan Cote D'Ivoire, presently this money is still in the bank's bequest suspence account where it was being deposited by my late husband.
Recently after my previous clinical check up,my Doctor told me that I would not last for the next three months due to cancer problem.Though what disturbs me most is my stroke.
Having known my condition I decided to donate this money to church or a better Christian individual that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct him or her,I want a church or individual that will use these money to help churches, orphanages and widows propagating the word of God and to ensure 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 hard earned money to be misused by unbelievers.
I don't want a situation whereby this money will be used in an ungodly manner, hence the reason for taking this bold 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, and because of the presence of my husband's relatives around me always. I don't want them to know about this development. With God all things are possible.
As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the bank here in Abidjan Cote D'Ivoire where the money is being deposited.
I want you and the church to always pray for me because the lord is my 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.Any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing for a church or Christian individual for this same purpose.
Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I Advised.
Hoping to hear from you and wishing Remain blessed in the name of the Lord.
Yours in Christ,
Mrs.Lizz Pokossi.
