Dearest in Christ,
PLEASE ENDEAVOUR TO USE IT FOR THE CHILDREN OF GOD. I am Mrs Mary Williams from kuwait. I am married to Dr. Henry who worked with Kuwait embassy in cote d’ivoire 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 Christians. Since his death I decided not to re-marry or get a child outside my matrimonial home which the Bible is against.
When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of 2.5 Million U.S. Dollars) with one BANK in cote d’ivoire. Presently, this money is still with the BANK. Recently, my Doctor told me that I would notlast for the next three months due to cancer problem. Though what disturbs me most is my stroke Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to church or better still a christian individual that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct here in.
I want a church that will use this to fund churches, orphanages and widows propagating the word of God and to ensure that the house of God is maintained. The Bible made us to understand that Blessed is the hand that giveth. 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 hard earned money to be misused by unbelievers.
I don’t want a situation where this money will be used in an ungodly manner. Hence the reason for taking this bold decision. I am not afraid of death hence I know where I am going. I know that I am going to be in the bossom of the Lord. Exodus 14 VS 14 says that the lord will fight my case and I shall hold my peace.
I don’t need any telephone communication in this regard because of my health,because of 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 possible.
As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the BANK in ivory coast.I will also issue you a letter of authority that will empower you as the original- beneficiary of this fund. I want you and the church to always pray for me because the lord is my shephard. My happiness is that I lived alife of a worthy Christian. Whoever that wants to serve the Lord must serve him in spirit and truth.Please always be prayerful all through your life.and any delay in your reply will give me room in searching for a
church or christian individual for this same purpose.Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated herein. Hoping to hearing from you. Remain blessed in the name of the Lord.Yours in Christ.
Mrs Mary Williams

Here’s another one from her:
From Mrs. Mary Willams!
21-A Kouret,Geylang Road,Abidjan
398425 Abidjan.
Dear beloved one,
Greetings to you in the name of our almighty and unfailure God who made all
things possible for his children, I am Mrs. Mary Willams from Abidjan,I am
65years Old, I was once a hindu worshiper as my people do,but ever since i got
married,i became a new christian convert and ever since then the Lord has been
good to me. My dear I was married to a French man Mr.David Willams, and we lived
happily for years without a child which gave me countless and sleepless night.
I am presently back in Abidjan due to the calamity that befell upon my sweet
family,My husband died in an auto crash on his way to work on a broad day
light,ever since then the family of my husband has never allowed me to have my
piece all because of the worldly things of the earth. My husband was an
engineer who worked with the chevron petroleum plc, all we had before his death
was threatened to be inherited by his family since i could not give him a child
when he was alive.
My dear, I sold all i had and all i was able to inherit from my husbands wealth
and donated a sum of $8.5million USD in a security vault with the Antlantique
Microfinance Company Abidjan Ivory Coast,My dear after all these predeicaments i
went through,My fate and my mind could not carry them so i fell ill, I am
presently suffering from a long time cancer of the lungs,also runs out of blood
almost every month, I am also facing a peneouma disease,but i thank God that i
am still alive to accomplish my mission on earth.
My dear, presently the security company wrote me to come forward and recieve my
fund, or issue a letter of authorization to someone abroad that i can trust to
claim the fund on my behalf and have it used as i wish since i cannot come
over.My dear due to my present health condition, I cannot go through these
processes by myself,so i need you to contact the security company on my behalf
and have the fund wired to you.I want the fund distributed among the charity
organisations,the less previlaged ones,the motherless babies homes, build a
cancer hospital,build an hospital for the sick in your state.
I want you to be a God fearing,always remember to love one another as you love
yourself,always put me in your daily prayers and always know that God first
before any other thing. My dear as soon as i hear back from you, I shall
instruct and direct you on how you are going to contact the security company
with some code of identifications which i will release to you.
I do not want trust to betray me so i am doing this as the Lord has directed me
to, I took this drastic decision because i have finally known that all these
wealth are vanity upon vanity and one day we shall go without it.
My dear please put me in your daily prayer regarding my health, and i hope to
hear back from you as soon as you can, so we can proceed.
May the Lord bless and keep you always.
Love,
Mrs. Mary Willams
