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.
