Subject: GOOD DAY
Compliment Beloved,
I am mother Silvana.M. Jayasinha, Formerly Silvana C.
Weddell, I am 50
years old. I became a citizen of Hong kong due to
marriage, but I am
resident in Falkland Islands (Islas Malvinas) at
present which will be
probably my final resting place. I was born an orphan
in 1955. I have
no
father or mother,and I have no relatives.
I was blessed to have married a humble and kind man,
Dr. Matyer
Jayasinha
.We both struggled and worked hard and the Almighty
blessed us
abundantly
with riches.He was a dealer in textiles, apparel.
I am now old and sick without a husband and
children.This has made me
unhappy. I have not re-married due to the fact that I
want to cherish
my
husband`s memory. For 2 years now i have been
seriously sick.
I am presently in hospital suffering from cancer and I
had a stroke
which
has affected my speech. The left side of my body is
paralysed. The
doctors
say I have a few months to live.I can only move my
right hand,and I am
able to write a little with it and what I have written
is beensent to
you
via e-mail by my private computer.
I have little time so I have committed it to spreading
my wealth
towards
better health care for mankind because this will be
what my husband
wanted. I am currently being attended to by a private
nurse at my
abode.
I have earmarked some funds for the management and to
upgrade and build
a
new cancer research facility where I was being treated
up to a few
months
ago.
This will provide better health care for other cancer
patients.I don`t
know you, I was able to get your e-mail address
through a specialized
source.There are several projects of which i don`t
have time to execute
at
present so I am contacting different individuals with
the hope that you
will carry out my instructions for the sake of
humanity.Closer to his
call
home, he made me aware of the liquid funds and kind
worth $1.9 million
U.S.D. In currency and kind with a financial company.I
want you to take
custody of the deposit,and use the money to build an
orphanage in your
country.You will name it after our names Silvana .M.
Jayasinha
Foundation
Home.
I do not want any of my husband`s relatives to benefit
from our labour
because most of them avoided us when we were
struggling. They have no
idea
about my present location.
Giving to the poor and less privileged is what being
a christian is
about.
All I need from you is your assurance that you will
use this funds
judiciously as stated in this message.I am not able to
use my laptop as
often as I will like due to the advice given me by
the doctors.This
is
all for now.
May you remain blessed.
Silvana .M. Jayasinha .
