From: Mrs. Maria Key
#23 Les Caches
St. Martins
Guernsey.
Channel islands,
United Kingdom.
I am the above named person but now undergoing medical
Treatment in London, England. I am married to Dr. Richard
Key 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 £10 Million
(Eighteen Million US Dollars) with his bank and after his death
I decided to withdraw the funds from his bank because I am a signatory to it
and I have since then deposited the funds as personal valuables with one
Finance House. Presently, this money is still with the Finance House.
Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not last for
The next 150 days due to cancer problem. Though what
Disturbs me most is my stroke. 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 to
Fund and provide succor to poor and indigent persons,
Orphanages, and widows and for propagating peace in
The universe.
I understand that blessed is the hand that grivets. 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 Finance House. I will also issue you a
Letter of authority that will empower you as the
Original beneficiary of this fund. 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 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 specification
Herein.
Hoping to hear from you.
Thank you and May the Almighty bless you.
Yours sincerely,
Mrs. Maria Key (Benefactor).
