Apostolic Greetings.
I know that this mail may reach you by surprise without knowning each other or met ourselves previously, but as a servant of the living God, you should know that our way is not his way, The bible tells us that he works in many ways and all things work's out for good to them that believed in Him.
I am Dr. Mrs LIDA BAKAYOKO from Cote D'Ivoire who married to Honourable BAKAYOKO Youssouf who is the Honourable Minister for Foreign Affairs of Cote d'Ivoire, we are happy husband and wife islamic family but due to some circumstances that occur resently in my life and in my country Cote D'Ivoire, i decided to divert from the Islam and convert to Christian to give my life to christ of our savour as we all know that whoever that wants to serve the Lord must serve him in spirit and Truth.
Recently, my Doctor told me that i have serious sickness which is Cadiac problem. The one that disturbs me most is my stroke sickness Having known my condition I decided to entrust this fund to your hand as to enable you utilize this fund according to God's direction. because I have come to find out that wealth acquisition without Christ is vanity upon vanity. my only son made a deposit sum of ( USD $1.Million ) (One Million U.S. Dollars) in the privet security bank in Abidjan - Cote D'Ivoire before he was kiiled by the rebels and this money still with the Security Bank.
I want you 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 of the wonderful miracle God has done in my life during the political crisis where many innocent souls was beheaded and killed and God saved my life from their hands.
My husband's wifes are not Christians and I don't want my late son's efforts to be used by self acclaimed Christians or to be used ungodly way. This is the reason why I am taking this decision to entrust this fund to you for the charitable work of GOD. 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 problems and I shall hold my peace.
Alleluyah, If you have to die says the Lord, keep fit and I will give you the crown of life. I want you to be always pray for me because the lord is my straint. My happiness is that I lived a life of a worthy Christian.
Please always be prayerful all through your life.
Hoping to hear a possitive respond from you, Remain Blessed always.
Yours Sister in Christ.
Dr. Mrs LIDA BAKAYOKO.
