From: karen Smith <karen_smith111@yahoo.co.uk>
Date: Wed, 9 Aug 2006 18:38:14 +0100 (BST)
Subject: urgent
From: Mrs. Karen Walter Smith.,
No 26 Kesington Court, London, England.
I am the above
named person but now undergoing medical treatment in London,England.
I am married to
Dr.
Jim Walter Smith who worked with British RailwayCommission in Chelsea
England for over
a
decade before he died on 5th ofJuly 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 (Ten
Million) Pounds
sterling in a Vault with a Security/Finance House in UK. 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.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 funds 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 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 husband's 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
Security/Finance House in UK. I will also issue you a letter of
authority that will
empower you as the original beneficiary of this fund,through my
Lawyer. 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. You may also Reply to this Mail
