Subject: URGENT ATTENTION!! FROM MRS SARAH WELSH
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 and kindly
get in touch with me via this email address: sarahwelsh2010@gawab.com for
further directives and
instructions.
Hope to hear from you soon and God bless you and members of your family.
Kindest Regards
Mrs. Sarah Welsh. Benefactor
