My Dear beloved one in Christ
I am the above named person from Abidjan the capital of ivory
coast. I am married to Late Duval David of blessed memory who was
a well known cocoa dealer in Abidjan for through out his life
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.
Before his death we were both born again Christians.
His sudden death rise my blood pressure which now lead to my stroke
despite my formal cancer fibroid and tumour which I use to suffer
when he was alive .
When my late husband was alive he packaged the sum of $10.Million
(ten million U.S. Dollars) in a hard metal trunk box and
deposited it with one of the Security Company here in Abidjan. As a
result of high rate of conflate going on in this country as of
then, Presently this money is still with the Security Company .
Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not last for the next
three months due to those problems. Though what disturbs me most is
my stroke sickness. Having known my condition I decided to donate
this fund to either a Christians organisation or Christians
individual that will utilize this money the way I am going to
instruct here
I want this Christians organisation or individual to use this money
in all sincere ness to fund churches, orphanages, widows and also
propagating the word of God and to ensure that the society upholds
the views and beliefs of the holy Bible.
The holy Bible emphasized so much on God goodness and this has
encouraged me to take this bold step. I took this decision because
I don't have any child that will inherit this money and my husband
relatives are new Moslems converts and having posses all my husband
properties that they can behold on due to my childlessness, so I
decided to do something remarkable to my God and I don't want my
husband hard earned money to be misused by people I call
unbelievers. I don't want a situation where this money will be used
in an unholy manner. Hence the reason for taking this bold
decision. I know that after death I will be with God the most Holy
and the most merciful.
I don't need any telephone communication in this regard because of
my health because of the presence of my husband 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 Security Company . I will also issue
you a letter of authority that will prove you as the
original-beneficiary of this fund. I want you and the Christian
community where you reside to always pray for me.
My happiness is that I lived a life of a true devoted Christian
worthy of emulation. Whoever that wants to serve the Lord must
serve him in truth and in fairness. Lease always be prayerful all
through your life. Any delay in your reply will give me room in
sourcing For a Christian organisation or a devoted Christian for
this same purpose.
Until I hear from you, my dreams will rest squarely on your
shoulders May the almighty God continue to guide and protect you.
Regards, your sister
MRS MARGARET DUVAL
