Subject: IN GOOD FAITH..
From: Madam Rita Mosley.
4 Old Church Street,
Chelsea, SW3,
England.
Here writes Madam Rita Mosley, suffering from cancerous ailment. I am married
to Sir David Mosley an Englishman who is dead.
He was into private practice all his life before his death. Our life together
lasted for three decades without child. He eventually died after a protracted
illness.
My husband and I made a vow to uplift the down-trodden and the less-privileged
individuals as he had passion for persons who can not help themselves due
to physical disability or financial predicament.
I can adduce this to the fact that he needed a Child from this relationship,
which never came.
When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of 20,000,000,00. Million
(20.000,000,00. Million Great Britain Pounds Sterling which were derived
from his vast estates and investment in capital market with his bank here
in UK. Presently,this money is still with the Bank.
Recently, my Doctor told me that I have limited days to live due to the
cancerous problems I am suffering from.
Though what bothers me most is the stroke that I have in addition to the
cancer. With this hard reality that has befallen my family and me, I have
decided to donate this fund to you and want you to use this gift which comes
from my husbands effort to fund the upkeep of widows, widowers, orphans,
destitute, the down-trodden, physically challenged children, barren-women
and persons who prove to be genuinely handicapped financially.
I am taken this decision because I do not have any child that will inherit
this money and my husband relatives are bourgeois and very wealthy
persons and I do not want my husband hard earned money to be misused or
invested into ill perceived ventures. I do not want this money to be misused
.
Hence, the reason for taking this bold decision. I am not afraid of death
hence I know where I am going. I do not need any telephone communication
in this regard due to my deteriorating health and because of the presence
of my husband relatives around me. I do not want them to know about this
development.
Furthermore, you can contact me through my personal email address : ritamosley20074u@yahoo.co.uk
or ritmsl2007@hotmail.com
As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the bank
in UK. I will also issue you a Letter of Authority that will empower you
as the original beneficiary of this fund. My happiness is that I lived a
life worthy of emulation.
Please assure me that you will act just as I have stated herein.
Hope to hear from you soon.
Madam Rita Mosley.
