DEAREST ONE OF GOD,
I am Mrs Abigail Asher.I was married to Mr Edward Asher,who worked with Anglogold Ashanti Ltd as a Director of Operations for nine years before his untimely death in the year 2006. 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 decided not to remarry .When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of $1.8 Million United State Dollars (One Million Eight Hundred Thousand U.S. Dollars ) in a bank in Accra in suspence account.
Presently,the fund is still with the bank.Recently, my Doctor told me that l have a serious sickness which is cancer related problem. The one that disturbs me most is my stroke sickness.Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to a church or individual that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct herein. I want a church or individual that will use this fund for orphanages, widows,propagating the word of God and to endeavor 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 efforts to be used by unbelievers. I don't want a situation where this money will be used in an unjust way. This is why I am taking this decision. I am not afraid of death since l do beleive that l will be saved. I know that I am going to be in the bossom of the Lord. Exodus 14vrs14 says that the Lord will fight my course and I shall hold my peace.
As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the bank in Accra.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. Whoever that Wants to serve the Lord must serve him in spirit and Truth. Please always be prayerful all through your life.
Hoping to receive your reply.
Remain blessed in the Lord.
Yours in Christ.
Mrs.Abigail Asher
