Subject: Mrs Florence KAYOKO ( DONATION )
Dearest,
Â
I am Mrs Florence KAYOKO , I am married to Chief John KAYOKO. He 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. When my late Husband was alive he deposited the sum
of $2,500.000.00 U.S. Dollars
(Two Million Five hundred thousand U.S. Dollars) in a Bank on my name
as beneficiary of the fund here in Abidjan . 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.
Â
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 âBlessed is the
hand thatâ givethâ. I took this decision because I donât have any child
that will inherit this money and many of relatives are not Christians
and I donât want my our efforts to be used by unbelievers. I donât 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 âthe lord will fight my case and I
shall hold my peaceâ. I donât need any telephone communication in this
regard because of my health hence the presence of my husbandâs
relatives around me always. Whoever that Wants to serve the Lord must
serve him in spirit and Truth.. Hoping to receive your reply.
Â
Yours in Christ,Â
Mrs Florence KAYOKO
