Dear Beloved,
Here writes Mrs Helena Williams wife of late Sir Williams,suffering from cancerous ailment without a child. My late husband deposited the sum of 20 million derived from his vast estates and investment in capital market with his bank here in UK. Recently, my doctor told me that I have limited days to live due to the cancerous problems I am suffering from.
With this hard reality that has befallen my family, and me I have decided to donate this fund to you and want you to help me use this gift which comes from my husbands effort to fund
the upkeep of widows,orphans, and needy financially.
I have decided to donate this fund to you, I do hope you would be able to utilize this money for the said purpose just as Im going to instruct herein. I want you to utilize the funds by creating a charity foundation called HELENA WILLIAMS FOUNDATION to assist widows and help accident victims worldwide. this deposit is known by me, our family lawyer and now you.
