Subject: GOOD-WILL DONATION FROM: MRS FRANCA DAVID
Dear in Christ,
Greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. I am Mrs FRANCA DAVID, from
(Kuwait). I am married to Mr JERRY DAVID, who worked with Kuwait embassy in
Ivory Coast, for nine years before he died in the year 2005. We were married
for eleven 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 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$2.500.000 dollars
in a bank here in Abidjan Cote d'Ivoire. Ever since, my husband died, I
became seriously sick including the stroke that have made it impossible for
me to walk with my leg again. Few days ago, my Doctor told me that, if I
want to live for the next few months. I need to under-go a major heart
operation this week, as a result of my kidney and breast cancer problem,
which I have been suffering from for many years. The one that disturbs me
most is my stroke sickness. Infact, my sickness has made my life so
miserable and am no longer interested in material things. It was because of
this reason, I took the final decision to contact you to help me utilize
this money the way I am going to instruct here.
Please, am believing that you are a child of God?. I want you to use this
funds for orphanages, schools, hospitals, churches and widows propagating
the word of God and endeavour to see that the house of God is maintained.
The Bible made us to understand that "Blessed is the hands that giveth".
Note: I took this decision because I don't have any child that will inherit
this money and my husband's relatives are idol whorshipers 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 bosoom of the Lord.
I don't need any telephone communication in this transaction, because of my
health, and my husband's relatives are always around me. I don't want them
to know about this development. With God all things are possible.
I will also issue you an authority letter that will prove you the present
beneficiary of this funds. 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. Please assure me that you
will act accordingly as I stated herein.
Hoping to receive your reply.
Remain blessed in the Lord.
Mrs FRANCA DAVID
