From:Lady. Joy Hillson.
26 Kensington Court,
London, W8 5DL,
England.
I am Lady.Joy Hillson, an English woman who is suffering from cancerous
ailment. I am married to Sir John Hillson 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 23rd of July 2003 at
about 2:00AM. Our marriage lasted for over a decade without any fruit of the
womb. My husband died after aprotracted illness. My husband and I made vow
to uplift the down-trodden and the less-privileged individuals within the
United Kingdom, Europe, North and South America, Africa and the rest of the
globe 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 10 Million (Ten
Million Great Britain Pounds Sterling with an offshore Bank in UK.Presently,
this money is still with the Bank. Recently, my Doctor told me that I have a
limited or numbered days on earth and that my life span 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, and me I have decided to
donate this fundto a non-governmental, or a non religious, and or a non
profit organization or better still an individual, that will utilize this
money the way I am going to instruct here in. I want a non governmental, or
a non religious, and or a non profit organization or better still an
individual, that will use this gift which comes from my husbands sweat 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.
It is often said that blessed is the hand that giveth. 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?s hard earned money to be misused or invested into ill perceived
ventures. I do not want a situation where this money will be used in an
ungodly manner, hence the reason for takingthis 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?s relatives around me. I do not want them to know about this
development. With God all things are possible.
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 always be prayerful all through your life. Any
delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing for a non-governmental, or
a non religious, and or a non profit organization or better still an
individual for this same purpose. Please assure methat you will act just as
I have stated herein. Hope to hear from you
soon and God bless you and members of your family.
Lady. Joy Hillson.
