He died in december 27th 2005 after a brief illness that lasted for only two weeks . Before his death we are happy husband and wife Christian family.
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 ( USD $4.7Million ) Four Million seven hundred thousand U.S. Dollars into a box for security reason and the money still with the security company here in abidjan cote d'lvoire. Meanwhile, i have not tell any body the content of this deposit in the security company.I am telling you the content reason that i want you to assist me use the fund to the work of the God.

Recently, my Doctor told me that i have serious sickness which is Candiac problem.The one that disturbs me most is my stroke sickness. Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to your church or individual that will utilize this money according to my direction. I want you and your church to use this fund for orphanages, widows, propagating the word of God and to endeavor that the house of God is maintained. The Bible made us to know 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 self acclaimed Christians. I don't want in a way that this money will be used ungodly way. This is why I am taking this decision to hand you over this Fund.
I am not afraid of death hence I know where I am going. I know that I am going to be in the hand of the Lord Exodus 14 VS 14 says that the lord will fight my problemsand I shall hold my peace. I want you and the church to always pray for me because the lord is my streignt. 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. Pleasealways be prayerful all through your life.Please do give urgent response to this mail without any delay.I want to give you number to call me but i don't want in a way my husband relations will know that i am giving you this money.
