Subject: Dear In Christ,
Dear In Christ,
I greet you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ our Lord, I am Mrs Linda
Adams from Solomon Island I am married to Mr Alex adams who worked with
Solomon Island embassy in Cote d'Ivoire. for nine years before he died in
the year 2004.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 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$3.3million dollars in a Bank here in Abidjan Cote
d'Ivoire. Presently, this money is still in bank.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 charity organization that will
utilize this money the way I am going to instruct herein.
I want an organization that will use this fund for orphanages, schools,
churches and widows, 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 here in Abidjan, Cote d'Ivoire.
I will also issue you an authority letter 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/organisation for this same purpose. Please promise me that you will
act accordingly as I Stated herein. Hoping to receive your reply.
Remain blessed in the Lord Take care,
In Christ's Holy Love
Yours Sister in Christ
Mrs Linda Adams
