Date: Tue, 29 Aug 2006 16:21:14 -0400
Subject: Offer
From: Mrs. Margaretta Vichy
26 Kensington Court,
London, W8 5DL,
England
I am Mrs. Margaretta Vichy, an Italian woman who is undergoing medical treatment in The Portland Hospital for Women and Children, 205-209 Great Portland Street, London, W1W 5AH England. I am married to Sir Mariano Glen Vichy who is an English Italian 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 23rd of July 2003 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 down-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 Treasury Bills with a Private Bank in Monaco. At present, this money has been transferred to a Bank, in Canada. Recently my Doctor told me that I have a limited or numbered days on earth and that my life span will not exceed 180 days 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 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, 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's 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's relatives around me. I do not want them to know about this development. With God all things are possible.
You will liaise with my Solicitor, Mr. David Duncan of Fox Hayes Chambers, as regards to this issue as I have instructed him. You can contact directly via email at: foxhayeschambers@lawyer.com who in turn will communicate to me.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Margaretta Vichy
