Dearest in Christ,
I am Mrs Shulemmite Ikonne Waad from Kuwait , I am married to Chief
Pascal mohammed waad. He worked with KUWAIT embassy in Ivory Coast for
nine years before he died in the year 2003. We were married for eleven
years without a child. He died after a brief illness that lasted for
only four days. When my late Husband was alive he deposited the sum of
$12,2millon. (twelve Millon Two hundred thousand U.S. Dollars) in a
finance and security company here in Abidjan, he used my name as the
benficiary to the money deposited. Recently, my Doctor told me that I
would not last for the next Eight months due to cancer problem. The one
that disturbs me most is my stroke sickness.
Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to a church or
oganisation that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct
herein. I want you to use this fund for orphanages, widows, propagating
the word of God and to endeavour 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 do not have any child that will inherit
this money and many of relatives are not Christians and I do not want
my our efforts to be used by unbelievers. I do not 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.
Whoever that Wants to serve the Lord must serve him in spirit and
Truth. Hoping to receive your reply.

Yours in Christ,
Mrs Shulemmite Ikonne Waad.
