Subject: Dear In Christ,
Dear In Christ,
I am Mrs Doris shiva, from south africa.I am married to late Mr.Kenneth Shiva,who worked with south africa Embassy in Ivory Coast for Twenty-Six years before he died in the year 1993,after a brief illness that lasted for only five days. We were married for Eighteen years with a duaghter(Lilian)who later died in a motor accident. Before the untimely death of my husband,we were both born again Christians. Since after 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 (US$4.5 M )(Four Million,Five hundred Thousand United States Dollars) in one leading bank in Abidjan Cote d'Ivoire. Presently,this money is still with the bank.
Recently,Following my ill health, my Doctor told me that I may not last for the next one months due to my cancer problem.The one that disturbs me most is my stroke sickness.Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to a Christain organization (Church) that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct herein,according to the desire of my late husband before his death.
I want this fund 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.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 my husband relatives are not Christians and I don't want my husband's efforts to be used by unbelievers.
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". 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.With God all things are possible.As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the bank in Abidjan. I will also issue you the documents that will prove you the present beneficiary of this fund.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. Please always be prayerful all through your life.
Any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing another Church for this same purpose.Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I Stated herein. Hoping to receive your reply.Before I even pick you to assist me I have prayed and slept over it asking God to provide for me a Godly minded person that will assist me in this transaction. I will give you more details of the transaction in my next mail.
Until I hear from you, my dreams will rest squarely on your shoulders May the almighty continue to guide and protect you,please if there is any qestion you may need to ask,you are free to ask me in your next reasponce and I will be happy to clear it and give you every detail along with the bank information.
But,before that I will give you the documents that will prove you the present beneficiary of this fund, then you will have the full right to contact the bank.
Am waiting your urgent reply.
Best Regards.
Mrs Doris shiva
