From: "karenappeal" <karenappeal@terra.com.mx>
Date: Sat, 1 Jul 2006 01:40:00 -0600
Subject: Take and bless others
From: Mrs. Karen Walter.
26 Kensington Court,
London, England.
I am the above named person but now undergoing medical treatment
inLondon, England. I am married to Dr. Jim Walter who worked with
British Railway Commission in Chelsea England for over a decade before
he died on 5th of July in the year 2003. We were married for fifteen
years without a child. He died after a brief illness that lasted for
two weeks.Before his death he made a vow to use his wealth for the down
trodden and the less privileged in the society.
Since his death I decided not to re-marry or get a child outside my
matrimonial home. When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum
of L10 Million (Ten Million Pounds sterling) in a Vault with a
security/Finance House in Europe.Presently,this money is still there.
Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not last for the next 150days
due to cancer problem. Though what disturbs me most is my cancer.
Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to an
individual or better still a God fearing person who will utilize this
money the way I am going to instruct here in. I want an individual
that will use this fund to provide succor to poor and indigent persons,
orphanages, and above all those affected in the Hurricane/Tsunami
disaster.
I understand that blessed is the hand that giveth. I took this decision
because I do not have any child that will inherit this money and my
husband relatives are not inclined to helping poor persons and I do not
want my husbands hard earned money to be misused or spent in the manner
in which my late husband did not specify. I do not 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 bosom of the
Almighty. I do not need any telephone communication in this regard
because of my health, and because of the presence of my husbands
relatives around me always. I do not 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
Security/Finance House in Europe. I will also issue you a letter of
authority that will empower you as the original beneficiary of this
fund,through my Lawyer. I want you to always pray for me. My happiness
is that I lived a life worthy of emulation. Whosoever that wants to
serve the Almighty must serve him with all his heart and mind and soul
and also in truth. Please always be prayerful all through your life.
Any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing for an individual
for this same purpose.Please assure me that you will act according to
myspecification herein. Hoping to hear from you.
Thank you and may the Almighty bless you.
