Subject: I8N GOOD FAITH
From:Lady Rita Mosley.
4 Old Church Street,
Chelsea, SW3,
England.
Here writes Lady Rita Mosley, suffering from cancerous ailment. I am
married to Sir David Mosley an Englishman who is dead. My husband was
into private practice all his life before his death. Our life together
as man and wife lasted for three decades without child. My husband
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 Twenty
Million Pounds (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 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 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.
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.
