Blessed are those who believe,

Mr. Ed Gabriel who before his death was a member of the Red Cross Society South Africa Chapter.
Late Ed. Gabriel made you one of the beneficiaries to his last Will and Testament. The reasons for this
were not made known tome. You must understand that I am only his attorney not a family member and
I did not ask because it is non of my business to ask or suggest who must be on my late client's Will or not.
What I remembered is what he said a day before his death. He said and I quote “I am happy that I have
finally found someone who can help me fulfil my wishes in assisting the homeless and the needy children.
I think I have found peace in my heart. in my heart now".Please note that the money bequeathed to you is to help the homeless and the helpless children of your
choice as long as you spend a tangible amount of this money for this purpose. Twenty five percent of this
money is yours for the honest service you are about to render to these children.
To complete my duty as the executor of his estate, please provide the information below to speed up the
process and execution of your benefactor's estate.1. Your full postal or residential address: this is to make easy, the delivery of the vital and confidential documents.
2. Your direct phone numbers/fax numbers if any (Connected line;)this is for easy communication. I want to
be able to speak to you anytime the need arises.
I requested your contact details because the only thing that was provided
to me regarding your contact is your email, your name and your country.
I need your full contact detail to be able to obtain the Court Probate Order which
will immediately order the remittance bank to commence the review and the release of your
bequeathed sum.Upon receipt of the above information, I'll send you copies of these
