From: Mrs. Rose Welsh.
17 Copse Hill,
Wimbledon, SW20 0NE,
London, United Kingdom.
My Beloved,
I am the above named person but now undergoing medical treatment in Barnes
Hospital, South Wople Way, SW14 8SU, London, England. I am married to Dr.
Gerald Welsh who worked with British Judicial Commission in Chelsea England
for over a decade before he died on 5th of July in the year 2003. We were
married for fifteen years without a child. He died after a brief illness
that lasted for two weeks. Before his death he made a vow to use his wealth
for the down trodden and the less privileged in the society. Since his death
I decided not to re-marry or
get a child outside my matrimonial home. When my late husband was alive he
deposited the sum of £10 Million (Ten Million Pounds sterling) with one
Finance/Security Company in Europe. Presently, this money is still with the
Security Company. Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not last for the
next 4 months due to a rare form of cancer of the pabcreas.
Though what disturbs me most is my stroke. Having known my condition I
decided to donate this fund to an individual or better still a God fearing
person who will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct here in. I
want an individual that will use this to fund and provide succor to poor and
indigent persons, orphanages, and widows and for propagating peace in the
universe.
I understand 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 not inclined to helping poor persons and I do not want my
husbands hard earned money to be misused or spent in the manner in which my
late husband did not specify. 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 in the bosom of the Almighty. I do not need any
telephone communication in this regard because of my health, and because of
the presence of my husband’s relatives around me always. 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 Finance/Security
Company in Europe. I will also issue you a letter of authority that will
empower you as the original beneficiary of this
fund. I want you to always pray for me. My happiness is that I lived a life
worthy of emulation. Whosoever that wants to serve the Almighty must serve
him with all his heart and mind and soul and also in truth. Please always be
prayerful all through your life. Any delay in your
reply will give me room in sourcing for an individual for this same purpose.
Please assure me that you will act according to my specification herein.
Hoping to hear from you. Thank you and may the Almighty bless you.
Please send your positive response to my private email address:
rose_welsh@excite.com .
Yours sincerely,
Mrs. Rose Welsh.
