From: Mrs. Tatyana Georgieva.
London, W8 5DL,
26 Kensington Court,
England.
I am Mrs.Tatyana Georgieva, a bulgarian woman who is suffering from
cancerous ailment. I am married to Sir Jim Georgieva who 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 3rd of december
2004 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 own-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 in a domant Account in one bank in Europe 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 and you can also make use of the fund for donation to churches
and the less privilledge 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 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 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 Europe.
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. Tatyana Georgieva. Benefactor
