This is a dying widow scam, where the scammer is impersonating a dying widow who wants to donate her wealth to a good cause, with your help, of course. But to help her getting her money out of her country, you'll be asked to pay for made up fees or costs to release the non existent money. Don't fall for this scam!

Apostolic Greetings

I am Sister mrs grace patrick from Bahrain. I am married to Dr. phillip patrick who worked with Bahrain embassy in cote d'ivoire for nine years before he died in the year 2007.

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 A BANK in cote d' ivoire. Presently, this money is still with the BANK. Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not last 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 and 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 a life of a worthy Christian.

Who ever that wants to serve the Lord must serve him in spirit and truth.Please always be prayerful all through your life. any delay in your reply will give me a room in searching for a church or christian individual for this same purpose.

Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated here and i want you to fast and pray for God to take asbsolute controll of this fund untill it get to you.

Hoping to hear from you soon.

From Mrs Grace Patrick

Being a victim doesn't mean you stand alone. We're here to help you.

Dearest In the Lord,



GREETINGS IN THE NAME OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST,I am Mrs Grace Patrick From Ivory Coast.I and husband were into,Estate Business and Government Contractor before my husband death on May 25 2009.We were married for 15 years without a child due my fibroid problem.Since my husband death I have been diagnosed with oesophageal cancer.Recently,my Doctor told me that I would not last for next 6 weeks because the cancer has gotten to a very bad stage.



When my husband was alive he made a deposit of $3.8m USD.Knowing my condition I have decided to donate this money out for charity purposes.Loving One,I want to transfer this money to you,I want to you use atleast 85% this money help orphanages homes,poor sick ones, aged widows and woman with cancer in then take the remaining amount to take care of your home because every worker deserve his wages.



I took this decision because I don't have any child that will inherit this money,I and my late husband vowed to use our wealth to help the less privileged since we have no child our relatives are wicked and selfish,because of my present condition,they abadoned and turned against me they thought nothing good will come out from me since I am SICK AND CHILDLESS.I don't need telephone communication because of my health condition.Proverbs19:17 He who is gives to the poor lends to the lord and the lord will reward him .My dear let join hands to help our brother and sister who are sick,poor and homeless.



Remain Blessed.Mrs Grace
