Subject: Accept for the good of humanity
From: Mrs. Jennifer Brent.
17 Copse Hill,
Wimbledon, SW20 0NE,
London, United Kingdom.
Good DayI am the above named person but now undergoing medical treatment in Barnes Hospital, South Wople Way, SW14 8SU, London, England. I was married to Dr. Jim Brent who worked with British petroluem Coporation in london for over a decade before he died on 5th of July in the year 2000. 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 British Pounds with one Bank here in London.Presently, this money is still with the Bank. Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not last for the next 150days due to cancer problem. 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.Do understand that i am unable to give these funds to a british charity or individual because i am required by law to get the endorsement of relatives to my late husband who are very wicked and are not interested in helping the poor as my late husband will want and this i believe is his reason for not letting them have knowledge of these funds until his death,revealing it to only me his wife.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.
As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the Bank here in London. I will also notify them of my decision to have you recieve these funds as my beneficiary. 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.Yours sincerely,Mrs Jennifer Brent.
