From: Mrs. Rose Welsh
Wimbledon, SW20 0NE,
London, United Kingdom.
Dear Friend,
I am the above named person but now undergoing medical
treatment in Hospital South London. 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
Dollars) 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 pancreas.
Though what disturbs me most is my stroke. Having known my ondition 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. Though I may not know you personally I want to tell you that,
through divine word of wisdom from above,I was asked to tell you to do
this, not for me but for The Almighty because you are blessed and you
have been chosen to do mighty works for the Almighty.
I want an individual that will use this to fund and provide succor to
poor and destitute 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 thi s 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 specificat ion herein. I
will also be most glad if you can tell me a little about yourself.
I would therefore appreciate it, if you send all your messages and
correspondence to my private and confidential email address:
rosewelsh4@yahoo.co.uk I sincerely hope you respond
soon
Thank you and may the Almighty bless you.
Yours sincerely,
Mrs. Rose. G Welsh
