From: "Lady RITA Mosley." <jenni@reedtribe.org>
Reply-To: mosleyfunds_01@yahoo.co.uk

Subject: Beloved,Reply ASAP.
From: Lady Rita Mosley.
4 Old Church Street,
Chelsea, SW3,
England.
Here writes Lady Rita Mosley, suffering from cancerous ailment. I used to
be married to Sir David Mosley an Englishman who is dead. My husband was
into private practice all his life before his death. Our life together as
man and wife lasted for three decades without children. My husband died
after a protracted illness. My husband and I made a vow to uplift the down-trodden
and the less-privileged individuals 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 the marriage, which
never came.
When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of Twenty Million Pounds
(20,000,000.00 Million Great Britain Pounds Sterling)which were derived
from his vast estates and investment in capital market with his bank here
in UK. Presently, this money is still with the Bank. Recently, my Doctor
told me that I have limited days to live 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 you and want you to use this gift which comes from my
husbands effort 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.
I took this decision because I do not have any child that will inherit this
money and my husbands relatives are bourgeois and very wealthy persons and
I do not want my husbands hard earned money to be misused or invested into
ill perceived ventures. I do not want this money to be misused hence the
reason for taking this bold decision. I am not afraid of death hence I know
where I am going. I do not need any telephone communication in this regard
due to my deteriorating health and because of the presence of my husbands
relatives around me. I do not want them to know about this development.
As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the bank
in UK. I will also issue you a Letter of Authority that will empower you
as the original beneficiary of this fund. My happiness is that I lived a
life worthy of emulation. Please assure me that you will act just as I have
stated herein. Hope to hear from you soon.

Sincerely yours
Lady Rita Mosley.
