From: "MRS KARREN PHILLIP BEMROTH MRS KARREN PHILLIP BEMROTH" <mrskarren2@hotmail.com>
Date: Tue, 27 Jun 2006 16:30:04 +0100
Subject: From: Mrs.Karren Phillip Bemroth / Urgent Call...

From: Mrs.Karren Phillip Bemroth.
26 Kesington Court,London England.
Email box: mrskarrenphillipbemroth@hotmail.com



I am the above named person but now undergoing medical treatment in London,
England. I am married to Mr.Jean Phillip Bemroth who worked with British
Railway Commission in Chelsea England for maney years 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 downtrodden 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 US$10 Million (Ten
Million dollars) in a Vault with a Security/Finance company. Presently, this
money is still with them. Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not last
for the next 150days due to cancer problem.I have tried all I could to have
my life saved, but in God i rest my Soul amen.

Although 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
and after. I want an individual that will use this to fund and provide
succor to poor and indigent persons, orphanages, and above all those
affected in the Tsunami in far Asia. I understand 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 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 un Godly manner, hence the reason for taking this bold
and difficult 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.As I have made
some portions in their hands and they still not ok with it. I beleive that
With God all things are possible. As soon as I receive your reply I shall
give you the contact of the Security/Finance company. I will also issue you
a letter of authority that will empower you as the original beneficiary of
this fund.And also I will give to you all the contacts of the Security /
Finance company in London, England.

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 soul and also in truth. Please 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 my specification herein. Hoping to hear from you.


Thank you and may the Almighty bless you.

Yours sincerely,

Mrs.Karren Phillip Bemroth(Benefactor).
