From: "Elena Owen" <elenamaiaowen1@bigmir.net>
Date: Mon, 26 May 2008 18:34:33 +0200
Subject: I will appreciate your assistance.
From Mrs. Elena Owen
London, W8 5DL,
4 Kensington Court,
England.
I am Mrs. Elena Owen, a citizen of Bulgaria but I based in England, I am
married to Sir Francis Owen who also is an Englishman though dead now. My
husband worked with the British Railways for over two decade before the cold
hand of death took him away on the 17th of June 2007 at about 2:33AM our
marriage lasted for over a decade without any fruit of the womb.
My husband died after a protracted illness. My husband and I made a vow to
uplift the down-trodden and the less-privileged individuals within the
Europe, North and South America, Africa and the rest of the Globe as he had
passion for persons who cannot help hemselves 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 (Seventeen Million
Seven Hundred Thousand United State Dollars in a dormant Account in one of
the leading security and Finance company in Europe. this money is still with
the Finance Company. Presently, am suffering from cancerous ailment for some
years now. Recently, my Doctor told me that I have a limited or numbered
days on earth and that my life Spam will not exceed 150days 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, I have decided
to donate this fund to a non-governmental, or better still an individual,
that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct here in., that
will use this gift which comes from my husbands sweat to fund the upkeep of
widows, 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 gives.
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 by his relatives whom
have already sold all his landed property. 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 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. With God all things are possible.
I will want you to contact my personal attorney base in Manchester (U.K) on
the information stated below, whom I have entrusted every detail regarding
this fund.
