From: "Sennye N. Makana" <mary_rayfr20@yahoo.co.jp>
Date: Fri, 8 May 2009 19:26:09 +0900 (JST)
Subject: Please do this for God
Let the peace of God be with you.
I am Mrs. Sennye Nteseng Makana, the wife of late Simon Makana (A.K.A Sipho). We are South African nationality.
My late husband was an Ambassador to Vietnam before his death 11th February 2004 in Vietnam . Our life together as husband and wife lasted for so many years and God blessed our union with three children.
My husband died after a brief illness in Vietnam and after his burial, I relocated to this country ( Ivory Coast ) together with my children because my late husband had a cocoa plantation here which we needed to sale in favour of my children due to some family disputes. After the selling of the
cocoa plantation, we decided to establish and start a new life here since it is the same African country.
Unfortunately, I lost all my three children here in an auto crash which kept my very self paralysed until now. Death took away my children in my presence and kept me half dead.
My contacting is because I have resolved to donate the total sum of $4.5 Million to you and would want you to use this gift which comes from my husband's effort to fund the upkeep of widows, widowers, orphans, destitute, the down-trodden, physically challenged children, barren-women and persons
who prove to be genuinely handicapped financially. This fund in question is presently contained inside a trunk which is deposited in storage company here in Abidjan Ivory Coast under the name of late son Mothusi.
My husband and I made a vow to uplift the down-trodden and the less-privileged individuals as he had passion for persons who can not help themselves due to physical disability or financial predicament.
You may be surprised or be asking why I took this decision. Recently, my doctor told me that I have limited days to live due to the cancerous problems I am suffering from for many years now. With this hard reality that has befallen my family, I have decided to donate this fund since life is no
longer meaningful to me and I forbid given my husband's relatives access to it due to their wicked attitude since after the burial of my husband. They considered me to be a wicked witch and they refused to come when my children died.
As soon as I receive your positive reply I shall give you further details on how to get the fund across to you.
My happiness is that I lived a life worthy of emulation. Please always be prayerful all through your life, and please assure me that you will act just as I have stated herein when the fund enters into your care.
Hope to hear from you soon.
God bless you and members of your family.
Mrs. Sennye N. Makana
