Dearly beloved,
Greetings from England!
On behalf of the Trustees and Executors of the late British Prime Minister
estate, Sir Edward Richard George Heath, KG, I once again try to notify you
as our earlier letter to you by the lawyer through the post were returned
undelivered, hence I hereby attempt to reach you via your e-mail address.
I wish to notify you that the late Sir Edward Heath made you a beneficiary
to his (will), he bequeathed the sum of Seven Hundred and Fifty Thousand
United States Dollars Only (US$750,000.00), to you in the codicil and last
testament to his (will).This may sound very strange and unbelievable to you,
but it is real and true.
Being a widely popular travelled man, he must have been in contact with you
in the past or simply you were nominated to him by one of his numerous
friends here or abroad who wished you well. Sir Edward died in Salisbury,
England, July 17, 2005 at the age of (89 years. He served in the Royal
Artillery during World War II, rising to the rank of Colonel. He was elected
to Parliament as a Conservative in 1950, and held several posts in the party
whip's office (1951-55), before becoming Government chief whip and
parliamentary secretary to the treasury (1955-59), He was Minister of
Labour (1959-60) that led the Tory Government as Prime Minister between 1970
and 1974.
The late Sir Edward Heath until death was a real gentle man, a very
dedicated christian who loved to give out, his support to the Church here in
England is very fresh in our memories. Quoting former Labour Chancellor Roy
Jenkins, a friend of Sir Edward, Mr.Tony Blair added:"He was a great
lighthouse which stands there flashing out beams of light, indifferent to
the waves which beat against him.
He was also a member of several non-governmental organisations (NGOs), here
in UK and beyond, his great Philanthropy earned him numerous awards during
his lifetime. According to him this bequest is to support your Christian
activities and to help the poor and the less privileged ones in your local
community and Country.
Please if I reach you as I am hopeful, endeavor to get back to me as soon as
possible to enable the lawyer executing the (will), conclude his job, you
forward your most current telephone and fax numbers including your mailing
address.
I look forward to your earliest response.
Fraternally in Christ,
Rev. Fr. Jerome Ainsworth, OSB
(Parish Priest and Spiritual Leader)
