Subject: Donation From Mrs Charity Micheal
Dearest in Christ,
=A0
Greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, I am Mrs=A0Charity Micheal.=
from Kuwait. I am married to Mr.Smith Micheal=A0who worked with Kuwait emb=
assy in Ivory Coast for nine years before he died in the year 2007.We were =
married for eleven years without a child. He died after a brief illness tha=
t lasted for only four days. Before his death we were both born again Chris=
tian.=20
=A0
Since his death I decided not to remarry or get a child outside my matrimon=
ial home which the Bible is against. When my late husband was alive he depo=
sited the sum of US$4.7million dollars in a Bank here in Abidjan Ivory Coas=
t. 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.=20
=A0
The one that disturbs me most is my stroke sickness. Having known my condit=
ion I decided to donate this fund to a charity organization that will utili=
ze this money the way I am going to instruct herein. I want an organization=
that will use this fund for orphanages, school and church ,widows, propaga=
ting the word of God and to endeavor that the house of God is maintained.
=A0
The Bible made us to understand that "Blessed is the hand that giveth".I to=
ok this decision because I don't have any child that will inherit this mone=
y 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 mon=
ey will be used in an ungodly way.=20
=A0
This is why I am taking this decision. I am not afraid of death hence I kno=
w where I am going. I know that I am going to be in the bosom of the Lord.E=
xodus 14 VS 14 says that "the lord will fight for 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.
=A0
=A0I don't want them to know about this development. With God all things ar=
e possible. As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of=
the Bank here in=A0 Abidjan Cote d'Ivoire. I will also issue you an author=
ity=A0 letter that will prove you the present beneficiary of this fund. I w=
ant you and the church to always pray for me because the lord is my shephar=
d.=20
=A0
My happiness is that I lived a life of a worthy Christian. Whoever that Wan=
ts to serve the Lord must serve him in spirit and Truth.=A0 Please always b=
e prayerful all through your life.=A0 Any delay in your reply will give me =
room in sourcing another church for this same purpose. Please assure me tha=
t you will act accordingly as I Stated herein. Hoping to receive your reply=
..=20
=A0
Remain blessed in the Lord.
Yours in Christ,
Mrs=A0Charity Micheal.=0A=0A=0A ______________________________________=
