Subject: IN GOD WE TRUST
From: Mrs.Kelly Walter Smith.26 Kesington Court,London, England. THIS ALTERNATIVE EMAILsmith_kellyo2@yahoo.co.ukFOR SECURITY REASONS. I am the above named person but now undergoing medical treatment in London, England. I am married to Mr. Jim Walter smith whon worked with British Railway Commission in Chelsea England for overa decade before he died on 5th of July in the year 2005. We were married for fifteen years without a child. He died after a brief illness that lasted for two weeks. Before his death he made a vow to use his wealthfor 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 matrimonialhome. When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of US$10 Million (Ten Million Dollars) in a Vault with a Security/Finance company.Presently,this money is still there. Recently,my Doctor told me that I would not last for the next 150days due to cancer problem.Though what disturbs me most 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 fund and provide succor to poor and indigent persons, orphanages, and above all those affected in the Tsunami in far Asia. 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 and I do not want my husbands 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 reason 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 husbands relatives around me always.I do not want them to know about this development,With God all things are possible. As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the Security/Finance company.I will also issue you a letter of authority that will empower you as the original beneficiary of this fund,through my Lawyer. I want you to always pray for me. My happiness isthat I lived a life worthy of emulation. Whosoever that wants to\serve the Almighty must serve him with all his heart and mind and soul and also in truth. Please always be prayerful all through 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. Hoping to hear from you. Contact me immediately through my private mail: smith_kellyo2@yahoo.co.ukThank you and may the Almighty bless you. Yours sincerely,Mrs. Kelly Walter smith(Benefactor).
