From: rebecca_thatcher01@yahoo.co.uk
Date: Sat, 07 Jul 2007 05:06:46 -0500
Subject: Beloved, Reply ASAP.
From: Lady Rebecca Thatcher.
No:36 Old Shrewberry Street,
London England.
Here writes Lady Rebecca Thatcher, suffering from cancerous ailment. I
used to be married to Sir Jeremy Thatcher 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
children. 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 the marriage, 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 isstill 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 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 husbands relatives are bourgeois and very wealthy
persons and I do not want my husbands 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
telephonecommunication in this regard due to my deteriorating health
and because of the presence of my husbands 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.
