From: Mary Thomas <marythomasx2@yahoo.ca>
Date: Wed, 22 Oct 2008 04:37:48 -0700 (PDT)
Subject: donation
Sir/Madam,
I am Mrs Mary Thomas. from Kuwait, I am married to Mr. Jerry Thomas who wor=
ked with Kuwait embassy in Ivory Coast for nine years before he died in the=
year 2002.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 Christian. Since his death I decid=
ed not to remarry or get a child outside my matrimonial home which the Bibl=
e is against. When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of US$2.5=
million dollars in a Bank here in Abidjan Cote d'Ivoire.Presently, this mon=
ey is still in bank.Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not last for t=
he next Eight months due to cancer problem. The one that disturbs me most i=
s my stroke sickness. Having known my condition I decided to donate this fu=
nd to a person that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct =
herein.
=A0I want a=A0humble person=A0that will use this fund for orphanages, widow=
s, propagating the word of God and to endeavor that the house of God is mai=
ntained. The Bible made us to understand that "Blessed is the hand that giv=
eth". 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.=20
I don't want a situation where this money will be used in an ungodly way. T=
his 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. E=
xodus 14 VS 14 says that "the lord will fight my case and shall hold my pea=
ce". 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 possibl=
e. 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 authority=A0 let=
ter that will prove you the present beneficiary of this fund.
=A0I want you=A0 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 pray=
erful all through your life.
=A0any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing another=A0person f=
or this same purpose. Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I S=
tated herein. Hoping to receive your reply.=20
Remain blessed in the Lord.
=A0Yours in Christ,
=A0Mrs.Mary Thomas.=0A=0A=0A _________________________________________=
