Subject: PLEASE USE THIS FUNDS FOR CHARITY.
From: Mrs. Helen Hill.
PLEASE ENDEAVOUR TO USE THIS FOR CHARITY.
Calvary Greetings!!
My name is Mrs. Helen Hill a 65yrs old lady. I am a cancer patient and a nationality of Kuwait.
I am married to Mr. Sammy Hill who worked with Kuwait embassy in SWITZERLAND for nine years
before he died in an automobile crash in December 1999. We were married for eleven years
without a child. Before his death we were devoted Christians. When my late husband was
alive we protected our assets of $USD5 Million through the purchase of a life insurance policy
(Swiss variable annuities) from a Swiss life insurance company.
I was irrevocably designates as beneficiaries of the policy. The purpose of this investment
was to safe our principal capital and make use of accrues income from the annuities for our
upkeep since the principal fund and the accrued interest are exempt from Swiss taxes under Swiss
law.But unfortunately he dies.Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not last long due to my cancer
problem. Though what disturbs me most is my stroke. I developed this sickness as a result of the
sudden shock and hearth attack I had when the breaking news came to me on that faithful day that
my husband was involved in an auto crash and died at the spot in the city of
Zurich in December 1999.
Having known my condition I decided to liquidate these assets and donate this fund with all the
accrued interests to church or better still a Christian individual that will utilize this money the way I
am going to instruct here in. I want an individual that will use this fund to aid Orphanages and the poor.
I took this bold decision because I don?t have any child that will inherit this money and my husband's
relatives are of questionable charactersand are not Christians. And I don't want my hard earned money to be
misusedby unbelievers and I would dislike a situation where this money will be used in an ungodly manner.
Hence the reasons for taking this bold decision.
I don't need any telephone communication in this regard because of my health and for the presence of my family
relatives around me always. I don't want them to know about this development. With God all things are
possible.
I have briefed my attorney about this development. As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of my attorney in UK
whom shall issue you my power of authority and other documents that would
enable the trust company to transfer the fund to you.
I want you and the church to always pray for me. 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. Any delay in your reply will give me room
in sourcing for other people for this same purpose.
Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated here. Expecting to hearing from you.
Remain blessed
Mrs. Helen Hill.
