FROM MRS. JUDY A. WILCOX.
GREETINGS IN THE NAME OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST,I AM MRS. JUDY A. WILCOX
UNDERGOING MEDICAL TREATMENT IN CAPE TOWN SOUTH AFRICA,#50 KLOOF STREET CAPE
TOWN 8001 SOUTH AFRICA, I MARRIED TO MY LATE HUSBAND WHO WORKED WITH BRITISH
JUDICIAL COMMISSION IN JOHANNESBURG, FOR OVER A DECADE BEFORE HE DIED ON 8TH
OF DECEMBER, 2005. WE WERE MARRIED FOR FIFTEEN YEARS WITHOUT A CHILD. HE
DIED AFTER A BRIEF ILLNESS THAT LASTED FOR THREE WEEKS. BEFORE HIS DEATH HE
MADE 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
USD$4.7MILLION UNITED STATE DOLLARS WITH ONE OF FINANCE/SECURITY COMPANY IN
JOHANNESBURG, PRESENTLY, THIS MONEY IS STILL LAYING WITH THE SECURITY
COMPANY. RECENTLY, MY DOCTOR ADVICE ME THAT I WOULD NOT LAST FOR THE NEXT
FIVE MOTHS DUE TO A RARE FORM OF CANCER OF THE PANCREAS. THOUGH WHAT I
DISTURBS ME MOSTLY 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
WORLD.
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 IN THE SOCIETY AND I DO
NOT WANT MY HUSBAND’S 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 PERSON 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 HUSBAND'S RELATIVES AROUND ME ALWAYS. DO NOT WANT THEM
TO KNOW ABOUT THIS DEVELOPMENT. WITH GOD ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE. AS SOON AS
I RECEIVE YOUR RESPONSE, I SHALL INSTRUCT THE SECURITY COMPANY TO TRANSFER
THE TOTAL SUM INTO THE NEW ACCOUNT YOU ARE GOING TO SET UP FOR THIS PROJECT
BECAUSE I WOULDN'T WANT IT IN AWAY WHEREBY AFTER YOU MIGHT HAVE RECEIVE THIS
MONEY INTO YOUR BANK ACCOUNT, YOU WILL FORGET THE PURPOSE OF THE MONEY THAT
IS WHY YOU AS THE BENEFICIARY HAVE TO SET UP A NEW ACCOUNT FOR THE TRANSFER.
LASTLY, 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 MIN
AND SOUL AND ALSO IN TRUTH. PLEASE ALWAYS BE PRAYERFUL ALL THOUGH 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.
WAITING FOR YOUR QUICK RESPONSE AND REMEMBER TO BE STRONG IN THE LORD
BECAUSE THE TIME IS AT HAND.
YOUR SISTER IN CHRIST,
MRS. JUDY A. WILCOX.
