From: jimswelshsarah@handbag.com
Date: Tue, 5 Jul 2005 03:43:35 -0800
Subject: IMPORTANT
From: Mrs. Sarah Welsh
26 Kensington Court,
London, W8 5DL,
England.
I am Mrs. Sarah Welsh, an English woman who is suffering from cancerous
ailment.
I am married to Sir Jim Welsh who also is an Englishman though dead
now.
My husband worked with the British Railways for over two decade before
the
cold hand of death took him away on the 23rd of July 2003 at about
2:00AM.
Our marriage lasted for over a decade without any fruit of the womb. My
husband
died after a protracted illness. My husband and I made a vow to uplift
the
down-trodden and the less-privileged individuals within the United
Kingdom,
Europe, North and South America, Africa and the rest of the globe as he
had
passion for persons who can not help themselves due to physical
disability
or financial predicament. I can adduce this to the fact that he needed
a
Child from this relationship, which never came.
When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of 10 Million (Ten
Million
Great Britain Pounds Sterling with an offshore Bank in UK. Presently,
this
money is still with the Bank. Recently, my Doctor told me that I have a
limited
or numbered days on earth and that my life span will not exceed 150days
due
to the cancerous problems I am suffering from. Though what bothers me
most
is the stroke that I have in addition to the cancer. With this hard
reality
that has befallen my family, and me I have decided to donate this fund
to
a non-governmental, or a non religious, and or a non profit
organization
or better still an individual, that will utilize this money the way I
am
going to instruct here in. I want a non governmental, or a non
religious,
and or a non profit organization or better still an individual, that
will
use this gift which comes from my husbands sweat to fund the upkeep of
widows,
widowers, orphans, destitute, the down-trodden, physically challenged
children,
barren-women and persons who prove to be genuinely handicapped
financially.
It is often said 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 bourgeois and very wealthy persons and I do not want my
husband?s
hard earned money to be misused or invested into ill perceived
ventures.
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 with the
Almighty
when I eventually pass on. The Almighty will fight my case and I shall
hold
my peace. I do not need any telephone communication in this regard due
to
my deteriorating health and because of the presence of my husband?s
relatives
around me. 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
bank
in UK. I will also issue you a Letter of Authority that will empower
you
as the original beneficiary of this fund. My happiness is that I lived
a
life worthy of emulation. Please always be prayerful all through your
life.
Any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing for a
non-governmental,
or a non religious, and or a non profit organization or better still an
individual
for this same purpose. Please assure me that you will act just as I
have
stated herein. Hope to hear from you soon and God bless you and members
of
your family. Send me email through sarahwelshs@netscape.net
Mrs. Sarah Welsh. Benefactor
NB please endeavour to forward your response to my private email
sarahwelshs@netscape.net
