Subject: urjent
ATTN:
I am Mrs CAROL KOWALIK,a polish national. I am
married to Mr.JOZEF KOWALIK who worked in the embassy
for nine years before he died in the year 2004. We
were married for eleven years without a child. He died
after a brief illness that lasted for only four days.
Before his death we were both good Christians. Since
his death I decided not to remarry or get a child
outside my matrimonial home .
When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of
$15.5Million with a Bank . Presently this money is
still in the custody of the Bank.
Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not last for
the next Eight months due to cancer problem. Having
known my condition I decided to donate this fund to a
an organization or any good person that will utilize
this money the way I am going to instruct herein. I
want the money to be used to assist for orphanages,
widows, or the less priviledged accross the world.
l took this decision because I don't have any child
that will inherit this money and my husband`s
relatives are not Christians, not even good at all
because they are the ones that killed my husband in
order to have all my late husband's properties. As a
matter of fact, I don't want my late husband's efforts
to be used by unbelievers and I don't want a situation
where this money will be used carelessly.
This is why I am taking this decision. I am not afraid
of death hence I know where I am going. I don't need
any telephone communication in this regard because of
my health hence the presence of my husband's relatives
around me always. I don't want them to know about this
development. As soon as I receive your reply I shall
write a letter of authorisation to the bank requsting
them to transfer ownership of the money to you . My
happiness is that I lived a life of a worthy mother.
Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I
Stated Therein. Hoping to receive your response
immedaitely.
Thanks
