FROM MRS. JOY DAVID ANU
PLOT 765 WATER FRONT
BOSTON HOUSE PMB,87006
VICTORIA ISLAND,
LAGOS NIGERIA.
My Dear.
I am Mrs. Joy David Anu, suffering from cancerous ailment. I used to
be married to Sir John David Anu an Englishman who is dead. My husband
was into private practice all his life before his death. We lived our
life together as man and wife which 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 Twelve Million
Dollars (12,000,000.00 Million United States Dollars) which were
derived from his vast estates and investment in capital market with his
banks here.
Presently, this money is still with the Security and Finance where it
was deposited by my late husband. 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 telephone
communication in this regard due to my deteriorating health and because of
the presence of my husband's 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 my
attorney. Who will also issue you a Letter of Authority and the Affidavit
of Claim 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.
Remain Blessed.
Mrs. Joy David Anu
