Subject: RE:PERSONAL MESSAGE FOR YOU,REPLY URGENT.
From: Mrs. Karen Walter.

Hello,
I am the above named person but now undergoing medical treatment in London,
England. I am married to Dr. Jim Walter who worked with British Railway
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 usehis 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 ?0 Million (Ten
Million Pounds sterling) in a Vault with asecurity/Finance House in Europe.
Presently,this money is still here. Recently, my Doctor told me that I would
not last for the next 150 days due to cancer problem. Though what disturbs
me most is my cancer.
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 above all those affected in the Tsunami in far Asia.
I understand that blessed is the hand that giveth. I took this decision
because I donot 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 husbands 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
Security/Finance House in Europe. I will also issue you aletter of authority
that will empower you as the original beneficiary of this fund, through my
Lawyer. 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 mindand 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. You may
