Subject: If I could live my life all over again.
Dear Friend,
I greet you as one human being to another in the name of our maker.
I am Mrs.Rebecca Atkins from South Africa.
I was married to late Mr. Smith Akins of blessed memory who was a petroleum
engineer/ explorer in Kuwait and Brunei for fifteen 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. Before his death we were both devoted
to our God and respect others who serve him.
Since his death, I too have been battling with both Cancer and fibroid problems.
When my late Husband was alive he deposited a large sum of money with a
security company in Europe.Most of the money was deposited as family valuables/treasure
for security reasons.
Recently, my doctor told me that I have only six months to live due to my
cancer problem, as this could lead to a stroke attack which bother me most
though because I cannot move as I used to.
Having known my condition I decided to entrust this monay to either a philanthropic
organization or devoted individual that will utilize this money the way
I am going to instruct whether i am alive or not.20% of the money goes to
you to ensure that you are prepared to follow my vision,again whether i
am alive or not. 70% of this money should be used in all sincerity to fund
philanthropic organizations and orphanages including widows,5% to my attorney
for processing all
the legal documentations and notarization,5% should be sent to me to at
least prepare off-set my medical bills and secure for myself a decent burial.
I am taking this decision because I don't have any child or devoted relations
whose behavior has left much to be desired while I was healthy and strong,not
even mentioning now that i am ill and above all I don't want a situation
where this money will be used in an Ungodly manner,hence this bold decision
on my part.
Since my health is Retrogressing by the minute, you will have to send your
residential number / postal address, telephone number and confidential fax
numbers,where my attorney could be able to call and fax informations to
you and a little details about yourself.
As soon as I receive this information from you I will make arrangements
to prepare the authorization through the family Attorney for you to take
over possession of the deposit,as soon as i hear from you.
I can be reached viz e mail on this E mail: rebatkins10160@tiscali.cz
The authorization will be endorsed from me to you, I will give you the name
and contact of the deposit company where the money was deposited in Europe,
for claims to the consignment.
Until I hear from you, I pray that this letter bring you and your family
good tidings while my dreams to help humanity rest squarely on your shoulders.
May you be guided and protected by love which is the greatest of all the
commandments.I hope i did not realise this too late.
Remain Blessed,
Mrs.Rebecca Atkins.
