Subject: URGENT REPLY
Dear Friend,
I am Donna Edward from Libya. I am married to Late Jamail Edward of blessed
memory who is an oil explorer in Libya and Kuwait for twelve years before he
died in the year 2000. We were married for twelve years without a child. He
died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days. Since his death I
too have been battling with both Cancer and fibroid problems.When my late
Husband was alive he deposited a substantial amount of money in millions of
dollars with a Finance Firm oversea.
Recently, my doctor told me that I have only six months to live due to
cancer problem. Though what disturbs me most is my stroke sickness. Having
known my condition I decided to donate this fund to either a
charity/orphanage home or devoted God fearing individual that will utilize
this money the way I am going to instruct herein. I want this organization
or individual to use this money in all sincerity to fund charity homes
(motherless homes),orphanages, widows.
I took this decision because I don't have any child that will inherit this
money and my husband relatives are into radical organization and I don't
want a situation where this money will be used in an Unholy manner. Hence
the reasons for this bold decision. Please, pray for me to recover as your
prayers will go a long way in uplifting my spirit.
I don't need any telephone communication in this regard because of my
health,because of the presence of my husband's relatives around me always. I
don't want them to know about this development.As soon as I receive your
reply. I shall give you further directives on what to do and how to go about
actualizing this project. I will also issue a letter of authority to the
Finance Company authorizing them that the said fund Have being willed to you
and a copy of such authorization will be forwarded to you. I want you to
always pray for me.
Any delay in your reply will give room in sourcing for an organization or a
devoted Individual for this same purpose. Until I hear from you by email;
donnaed01@yahoo.com my dreams will rest squarely on your shoulders.
Remain blessed.
Donna Edward
