Dearest Mosab Hassan Yousef,

 

Salaam! Shalom! How are you?

I know you do not know me, so let me introduce myself to you.

My name is Marie Christine Yu and I am currently 39 years old on the gregorian calendar. And I am writing this letter to express what I am feeling inside my heart. I was born in Cebu City, Philippines, and I still live here with my parents. I am writing to you because I love you and I am sad that I am far from you. I know we don't know each other personally but after reading your book and watching your interviews it seems I have known you from long ago. It was early this year around April and May that GOD has been putting you in my heart. You see, I only heard about you back in 2010 when I met Palestinian friends in London. I was trying to show JESUS to these muslim friends, and I had a unforgettable encounter with the LORD JESUS CHRIST when I was with them. I prayed for them and GOD taught me how to fast for their salvation. When my work was done, GOD called me back home and even though I never got to see them saved, I planted the seeds of love in their hearts, and for GOD that was enough. But to me, it felt like an unfinished business. But when I heard about your story I bought your book but I never read it. I was just so happy to know that a Palestinian got saved and followed JESUS with all his heart, it satisfied my Spirit to know that another Palestinian Muslim got saved even though I had nothing to do with it. I left closed the business that I felt was still unfinished with the Hatab Family in London because GOD let me hear about you.

This year, GOD kept putting you in my mind and I was posting about you in social media until on May 20, 2021 GOD confirmed in my Spirit that you will be my husband and from then on, I began to love you and started searching for you. The biggest mistake of my life like Sarah taking this promise into her own hands by letting Hagar sleep with Abraham was me trying to find you in the internet. I met someone on linkedin with the name Yousuf YATRB. I really thought he was you or that maybe he knew you because he had been advocating peace in the middle east and standing and supporting Israel even on his twitter account. But I was wrong, he wasn't you after all and it came to late for me to find out he wasn't you after all. 

On June 5th, he admitted he was Mosab Hassan Yousef and we had an online relationship where we communicate via Telegram, Whatsapp and Gmail. And he made up stories of what you could be like, he said he worked for CIA and that he had a lawsuit case and he kept asking money from me. Because I thought he was you and I believed GOD's promise for me, I sent him money to help him with his case and I didn't know how much he had finally extracted from me until I could no longer pay my credit cards. On my credit cards, I sent him at least 2 Million pesos via Paypal and that does not include cash sent on moneygram. I was in deep debt from people and the banks. I was in so much trouble that I finally told my parents who saved me from such debts and the huge interests that the credit card companies were charging me. I am sorry, this is not your fault at all but mine. But I am just telling  you what happened to me. I was desperate to see you, and know that GOD had fulfilled his promise to me. But I was so wrong because the man I had been communicating had been the same man that "Musab" trusted as his closest and dearest friend that comes by the name of Ahamdan Youssef.  He kept asking me money because he said he (as Musab) is in the Philippines already but needs to be bailed out because he was detained in INTERPOL Philippines. I came to realize this cannot be the real Mosab that I know because this man had been promising to come for me pay all my debts since August but until now his stories just became more and more unbelievable but it was too late for me to understand that I had been a victim of fraud and cybercrime. So I stopped communicating with him and now even though I am living my life without the pressure of sending out more money for "Musab", I am broken hearted because I thought I was talking to you but in reality you do not know who I am.

I know this story is the silliest you may have ever heard, but after all the pain I felt and troubles that almost drowned me because of my desperation to love and be loved, after all this time, I still love you because you are an honorable man and it's not your fault that I am hurt today. I love you still because of who you are and the man you will continue to be - pleasing the LORD JESUS and emulating HIM. I love you because you lay your down life for my KING JESUS without fear of death. Call me obsessed or a crazy fanatic, I don't care what you call me, all I know is that I love you deeply and today I prayed for you like I always do. I pray that you will understand how deeply you are loved, even though you are not without anyone, you are loved by GOD and loved by me. I pray GOD fill your heart with joy as I cry for you, I pray you feel GOD's love as I am crying out to be loved by someone special like you. I pray you always have the peace of JESUS and always feel HIS presence in YOUR life the way I pray HIS peace and presence continue to uphold me. 

I love you Mosab, I love you so much!

Your prayer warrior,

Marie Christine Yu
