Subject: Please I need your Prayer
Hello dear,
I am writing this letter to you in confidence, believing God to help me
locate you in good faith. On the contrary, if you are not trusting, straight
and with a large heart, please, dont ever bother yourself to contact me
because it will only add to my many sorrows. The assistance I will be asking
>from you is both demanding and courageous; but it is by this nature I needed
you as a confidant. I wish you won’t betray the sincerity of purpose and
the dream I have to offer. My names are Andrea Fitzgibbon (47yrs), an
Australian, resident in the United Kingdom; and off course the very next
HIV/AIDS victim on the death row. I married 23 yrs ago to an industrialist,
Benjamin Fitzgibbon (54 yrs). We had two beautiful and adorable daughters,
Amy (22 yrs) and Sandy (19 yrs). All have been killed and gone in a snap, by
the most ugly and dreadful virus HIV. Their deaths in 2005 2006, 2007
respectively left me as a hollow ghost and yet still haunt me till present.
Honestly, my life is battered, shattered and hopeless. Indeed, I am a sad
and dying person. Thus I wouldnt want to bulge you with my many sympathetic
stories but I want to entrust into your care this very noble task to save
the world of the next victim after me.
When, we were first diagnosed and became terribly aware of our deteriorated
status in April, 2003; my husband and I consciously made an effort to
salvage the world of other victims by contributing our own little quota, and
>from our investments opened up a $23.3Million AUD trust fund aimed for
sensitization and outreach programme to curb this scourge and help fight
this disease, starting from Africa. These funds were later to be insured and
saved with a
security company in Johannesburg for safe keeping. My doctor has said that
if I survive the next 3 months, it will be a great miracle. I know
definitely that I will die soon, but I am not afraid to face death because
surely everybody will eventually die someday. Therefore, I do not need your
pity but prayers and trust for me to be alive and witness the foundation
structure of our noble vision laid by you as the co-founder and president.
If you are willingly to assist me through, write me back as soon as you can,
so that I can give you a letter to enable the security company release the
funds for the set purpose. Help the next HIV/AIDS victim. It could be
anyone. It could be you.Compliment of the season as we celebrate the NEW
YEAR.
Best Wishes and God bless.
Andrea Fitzgibbon (Mrs).
