Dear Friend,
I am sorry if this letter comes to you as an embarrassment but be rest
Assured that your particulars of contact was given to me from a very good
friend who work with the UNITED KINGDOM chambers of commerce, for reliable
and capable foreigner that will handle Confidentially a Godly assignment on
my behalf and at the same time make a good home in heaven for him/herself.
I am Mr. Patrick kent, an English man suffering from cancerous ailment. I am
married to Mrs, Sarah kent, who also is an English woman though dead now.
Our marriage lasted for over a decade without any fruit of the womb. My wife
died after a protracted illness.
My wife and I made a 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 she had passion for persons who cannot
help themselves due to physical disability or financial predicament. I can
adduce this to the fact that she needed a Child from this relationship,
which never came.
Myself and my late wife Invested the sum of USD$20,000,000.00 (Twenty
Million United States Dollars) in an International Trading Program with the
Joint stock commercial international industrial investment bank (FIRST
SECURITY AND FINANCE COMPANY LONDON).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 60 days 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 a non
religious, and a non profit organization such as club/society or better
still an individual, that will utilize this money the way I am going to
instruct here in.
This gift which comes from myself and late wife sweat, is meant to fund the
upkeep of widows, widowers, orphans, destitute, the down-trodden,
physically challenged children, barren-women, life-long education for
student, positive society upbringing 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 wife relatives are bourgeois and very wealthy
persons and I do not want our 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 taking this bold
decision.
I am not afraid of death hence I know where I am going to be with the
Almighty God when I eventually pass on. The Almighty God 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 wife
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. I will also issue you a Letter of Authorization
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 nonprofit organization or
better still an individual for this same purpose. Please assure me that you
will act just as I have stated herein.
Hope to hear from you soon and God bless you and members of your family.
Please get back to me via my private email id. patrick_kent197575@yahoo.com
Mr. Patrick kent (Benefactor).
