- Pardon my approach without priority consent. I am Mrs. Elizabeth Williams, an English woman who is suffering from cancerous ailment. I am married to McDonald Randy Williams who also was an English man though dead now. My husband co-owned one of DIAMOND MINING CORPRATION BURKINA FASO 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 $48 Million (Forty eight Million United States Dollars) with an offshore security company in Burkina Faso. I am 73 years old and a member of the SF Human Rights Commission before I started suffering for cancer for years now. 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.. However, I am a Christian and I don’t have any child. I want an honest person who will use these fund to help the poor and also for the church. 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 late husband’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. My husband deposited the two boxes in the security company in Burkina Faso. As soon as I receive your reply convincing me of your good intentions; I will furnish you with all the details of the security company and also send to you the picture of the two boxes. The boxes contain (US$24million) each and I would give you the papers to validate your role as the owner of the money as the two boxes has a combined sum of (US$48million) I would also give you the secret numbers of the keys to open it and deposit the fund into any account of your choice and also I will let my lawyer contact you and release the legal documents to you which you will use to clear the fund as soon as you arrive to Burkina Faso.Please always be prayerful all through your life. I hope to hear from you and see you soon. I wait for your kind response. Best regards. Mrs. Elizabeth Williams.
