Subject: Re: Doctor\'s report
Dear Friend,
I am Mrs. Linda Welsh, an English woman who is suffering from cancerous ailment. I am married to an American who recently died in the brizilian plane crash of september 29 2006 as reported by cnn and brazilian news source-see the links below:

My husband worked with the British Railways for over two decade before the cold hand of death took him away on the 29th of September 2006. Our marriage lasted for over a decade without any fruit of the womb. My husband and I made a vow to uplift the down-trodden and the less-privileged individuals within the American communities, United Kingdom, Europe, Africa and the rest of the globe as he had passion for persons who can not help themselves due to physical disability or financial predicament. I can deduce this from the fact that he needed a Child from this relationship,which never came. When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of 10 Million (Ten Million Great Britain Pounds Sterling with an offshore Bank in UK.
Presently, this money is still with the Bank. Recently, my Doctor told me that I have a limited number of days on earth 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 as a result of my husband\'s demise. With this hard reality that has befallen my family and I, I have decided to donate this fund to a non-governmental, a non religious, or a non profit organization or better still an individual, that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct here in. I want someone that will use this gift which comes from my husbands sweat 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. It is often said 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 bourgeois and very wealthy persons and I do not
want my husband\'s hard earned money to be misused or invested into ill perceived ventures. 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 with the Almighty when I eventually pass on. The Almighty will fight my case and I shall hold my peace. I would not advise 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. With God all things are possible.
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 via a recongnised legal institution here in the United Kingdom. My happiness is that I lived a life worthy of emulation. Please always be prayerful all through your life. Any delay in your reply will give me room to source for a non-governmental, a non religious, or a non
profit organization for this same purpose. Finally, you must assure me that you will act just as I have stated herein.
Hope to hear from you soon and God bless you and members of your family.
Mrs.Linda Welsh
