Subject: good day
From: Mrs.COMFORT K Welsh. 17 Copse Hill,
Wimbledon, SW20 0NE,
London, United Kingdom.
I am the above named person but now undergoing medical treatment in Barnes Hospital, South Wople Way, SW14 8SU, London, England. I am married to Dr.Jim Welsh who worked with British Judicial 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 (Ten
Million Pounds sterling) with one Finance/Security Company in Europe.
Presently, this money is still with the Security Company. 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 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 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 kno 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?? 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/Security Company in Europe. 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 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.MY PRIVET MAIL COMFORT_KING@HOTMAIL.COM
Thank you and may the Almighty bless you.my email address
Yours sincerely, Mrs.COMFORT K Welsh.
