Dear friend,
Though this is not the most appropriate way to contact a stranger, I have being left with only this option due to ill health. My name is MRS MILENA VRACAR, wife to late FYODOROV BORIS VRACAR from Serbia. I was born on 31 March 1948 in Kiev. In 1973, I graduated from the Korotchenko Kiev Institute of National Economy where I obtained degree in industry planning. I moved to Serbia in 1974 where I got married to Mr. Fyodorov Boris Vracar, who was then the project manager with GAZPROM in Serbia, In 1991, GAZPROM was contracted for the construction and supply of Gas to the ELECTRICITY COMPANY OF GHANA in Ghana (West Africa) for 5 year.
He resign from active duties due to illness and died in 2005. Though his death was a huge blow to me, having no children, I have come to accept the fact that death is a price which every man will have to pay one day.
After his death, I was left with the responsibility of managing his estate, including entitlements He received from his work place. I have tried my best in investing this fund, but sometimes when I remember the fact that I have no children that will inherit these estate or continue to manage it, I feel very sad. Two year ago I was diagnosed with Uterine Sarcoma cancer, though I have being able to get the best medical attention, I keep going in and out of hospital, of which presently am in London for a surgical operation. In the past years, I have being in various charity and voluntary project, I have donated funds to agencies in the Voluntary sector, like the Positive Women organization here in UK, the African HIV Policy Network, the George House Trust.
I have be inspired to open a CHARITY TRUST FUND, I have decided to donate the sum of Ten Million three hundred thousand Dollars ($10,300,000.00) of my husband investment turn over in Africa to the Trust Fund. The essence of this trust fund is to make money available to various small charity organizations whose core objectives are taking care of women, children and the disable. I am contacting you because I want you to be the Manager of this trust fund. Your duties will be to accept this fund, establish a Trust Fund account, and do proper research of the various small charity organizations that have these objectives, determine their scoop and make fund available for them.
I want you to consider this task, and on your acceptance I will inform my husbands attorney so that he can arrange the release of the funds to you. You will be entity to 10% of the total fund for your effort, 5% will be use for all logistic, management, salary and getting the necessary research information. You will also have to work closely with my husbands attorney and give him your plans for the fund and updates on your progress. I have informed him on my decision in WILLING this fund to charity through you, and on your acceptance of this noble task He shall contact you.
I want to thank you for taking your time to read my mail, while I pray that you will consider this task for purpose and also put me in your daily prayers. I will appreciate your utmost confidentiality in this matter until the task is accomplished, as I dont want anything that will jeopardize my last wish or let pride and greed set in. If you are wiling to help in this course kindly send me your name and phone number to enable my attorney contact you.
