From: Lady Toreth Hughes <ladytoreth@yahoo.co.uk>
Date: Thu, 03 May 2007 03:16:40 -0700
Subject: Can You Be Trusted?
From: Lady Toreth Hughes
52 Oxford Street,
England.
Here writes Lady Toreth Hughes, suffering from
cancerous ailment. I am married to Sir Richard Hughes
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 child. 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 this relationship, which
never came.
When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of
20 Million (20 Million Great Britain Pounds Sterling
which were derived from his vast estates and nvestment
in capital market) with his bank here in UK. resently,
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 my family, and 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, 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 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
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.
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.
