Subject: SARAHWELSH
From: Mrs. Sarah Welsh
26 Kensington Court,
London, W8 5DL,
England.
I am Mrs. Sarah Welsh, an English woman who is suffering from cancerous
ailment. I am married to Sir Jim Welsh who also is an Englishman though
dead
now. My husband worked with the British Railways for over two decade before
the cold hand of death took him away on the 23rd of July 2003 at about 2:00AM.
Our marriage lasted for over a decade without any fruit of the womb. My
husband died after a protracted illness. My husband and I 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 persons who can not help themselves due to physical
disability or financial predicament. I can adduce this to the fact that
he
needed a Child from this relationship, which never came.
When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of 10 Million (Ten Million
Great Britain Pounds Sterling with an offshore Bank in UK. Presently, this
money is still with the Bank. Recently, my Doctor told me that I have a
limited or numbered days on earth and that my life span will not exceed
150days due to the cancerous problems I am suffering from. Though what bothers
me most is the stroke that I have in addition to the cancer. With this hard
reality that has befallen my family, and me I have decided to donate this
fund
to a non-governmental, or a non religious, and or a non profit organization
or
better still an individual, that will utilize this money the way I am going
to
instruct here in. I want a non governmental, or a non religious, and or
a non
profit organization or better still an individual, that will use this gift
which comes from my husbands sweat to fund the upkeep of widows, widowers,
orphans, destitute, the down-trodden, physically challenged children, barren-
women and persons who prove to be genuinely handicapped financially.
It is often said that blessed is the hand that giveth. I took this decision
because I do not have any child that will inherit this money and my husband
relatives are bourgeois and very wealthy persons and I do not want my
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 hence 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. I do not need any telephone communication in
this
regard due to my deteriorating health and because of the presence of my
husband?s relatives around me. I do not want them to know about this
development. With God all things are possible.
As soon as I receive your reply 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. My happiness is that I lived a life worthy
of emulation. Please always be prayerful all through your life. Any delay
in
your reply will give me room in sourcing for a non-governmental, or a non
religious, and or a non profit organization or better still an individual
for
this same purpose. Please assure me that you will act just as I have stated
herein. Hope to hear from you soon and God bless you and members of your
family.
Mrs. Sarah Welsh. Benefactor
