From: "Elizabeth Williams" <elizabethwilliams@jmail.co.za>

Subject: From Elizabeth Williams/ Your response
Pardon my Approach with piority concent.
I am Mrs. Elizabeth Williams, an English woman who is suffering from cancerous
ailment. I am married to Mcdonal Randy Williams who also was an English man
though dead now. My husband co-owned one of the Mining Industries in British
Columbia for over two decades before the cold hands of death took him away. He
died on the 23rd of July 2005 around 2:00AM.Our marriage lasted for over a
decade without an issue. My husband died after a protracted illness. We 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 people who cannot help themselves due to physical
disability or financial predicament. I can attribute this to the fact that he
needed a Child from our marriage, which never came.
When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of 23 Million (Twenty
three Million Great Britain Pounds Sterling) with an offshore Bank in UK. This
money is still with the Bank and recently, my Doctor told me that I have a
limited number of days on earth and that my life span will not exceed 150days
due to the stage the cancer has gotten to. Anyway, what bothers me most is the
stroke that I suffered 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, a non-religious, and/or a non profit organization or better
still an individual who will utilize the money the way I am going to instruct
here-in. I will want the beneficiary 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 people who can
prove to be genuinely handicapped financially.
I took this decision because I do not have any child to inherit the money. My
husband's relatives are well off and with uncharitable minds. Moreover, I do not
want my Jim'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 taking this bold decision. I am not afraid of death
because 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.
With God, all things are possible. As soon as I receive your reply convincing me
of your good intentions, 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. You might be expected to Visit London, if necessary
(Unless the bank advises otherwise).This will enable you to see things for
yourself. If possible, pay me a visit at the hospital. Here, you can sign the
Fund Release Order Classified Documents to enable you pick up a Draft or process
a Bank Wire Transfer for the sum of 23 Million (Twenty Three Great Britain
Pounds Sterling) as my beneficiary. I may also be able to help you fine-tune
arrangements on whichever way you feel safer in receiving the fund and to any
account of your own choice. My consolation and happiness is that I lived a life
worthy of emulation.
Please always be prayerful all through your life. I hope to hear from you and
see you soon in London if you can make it to the U.K. God bless you and members
of your family.
I wait for your kind response.
Best reagrds.
Mrs. Elizabeth Williams.
