From: "Rose Philips" <rosephilips@nonifamily.net>
Date: Tue, 01 Jul 2008 22:15:23 +0530 (IST)
Subject: Dear friend, thank God for selecting you..
Dear Friend,
Greetings in the name of God. I beg you to have time to go through
this mail, though you do not know me in person, I am Mrs. Rose
Philips,married to Sir Jim Philips who is an Englishman
though dead now. I am suffering from cancer, a sickness which has
tormented me for some time now My husband was a successful businessman
before the cold hand of death took him away suddenly on the 23rd of July
2005 at about 2:00AM. Our marriage lasted for over a decade without any
fruit of the womb.
My husband 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 he had passion
for persons who can not help themselves due to physical disability or
financialpredicament. I can adduce this to the fact that he needed a
hild from this relationship, which never came.
When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of $9million (9
Million US dollars with a financial institution. Presently, this money
is still with the financial institution. Recently, my Doctor told me
that I have a limited or numbered days on earth and that my life span
will not exceed 30days 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 fund to 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 feel so weak that I cannot even move around, so I have decided to
make this choise on a random basis. Incidentaly, i came across your
contact after a long prayer and decided to use you.Now I want you to
use this gift which comes from my husband's 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. Please the important thing for me is for you
to do this impartially, dont look at religion, race, or colour, just
carry out this job as universal as you can.
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 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. 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.Do get back to with my email ID rosephilips@nonifamily.net
Mrs. Rose Philips
Benefactor
