Subject: A DYING WOMAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
From: Mrs. MaryAnn Galpin,
Life itself is a misery and nobody can tell what can be of it. Those that
can tell what can be of it are those who cannot tell us because they are far
from us (dead). If you would want to hear my story. I am the above named
person but now undergoing medical treatment for Cancer now. I am married to
Dr. David Galpin who worked with United Kingdom embassy in Vietnam for nine
years before he died in the year 2006.
Well I will only try to let you know who Dr. David Galpin is by stating his
philosophy of life. "Life is worth living only if lived to the service of
mankind" and "You make a living by what you earn, but you make life as by
what you give? This will give you an insight of the spirit behind what I
believe and what I will live for because he is my mentor.
To continue with my story, we were married for eleven years without a
child. He died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days. Before
his death we have made something of and from life. Since his death I decided
not to re-marry or adopt a child, this is basically my own decision to honor
him for the love we shared and the life we lived for. My late husband
deposited the sum of $5.6Million Five Million six hundred thousand U.S.
Dollars) with one Security/Finance Company in Europe before his death.
Presently, this money is still with the Security/Finance Company. Recently,
my Doctor told me that I would not last for the next three months due to
cancer problem.
Though what disturbs me most is my stroke. Having known my condition I
decided to donate this fund to a church, better still a Christian Individual
that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct herein. First
you must emblem and live with my husband's philosophy, as stated above. If
you can't remember please I refer you to read through from the introduction
of this letter because this most important aspect that you must uphold.
Secondly I want an organization or an individual that is God fearing who
can invest the money and continuously use the money to fund orphanages,
widows, the less privilege, the disabled and all those afflicted with
strange illness or diseases.
Thirdly this money should not be used in an ungodly manner, or any form of
Evil or selfishness for that will warrant evil to that person's life and
family from generations to generations. For you cannot use the hard earned
money of my husband and I for evil or ungodly purposes. If these conditions
are met I am not afraid of death for I know where I am going to and my heart
will rest in peace. I don't need any telephone communication in this regard
because of my health, for as soon as I receive your reply I will refer you
to the contact of the security/Finance Company in Europe and my doctor who
shall arrange you the letter of claim from the UK High Court of Justice.
This will be done if I see from your response that you satisfy the above
conditions stated.
As I have stated my Doctor will issue you a letter of authority that will
empowers you as the original beneficiary of these funds (Consignment). I
Choose this means to locate you because I am sure I will be lead by a good
Spirit to the kind of person that will be honest. Delay in your reply will
not be of benefit to me due to my health condition and this will propel me
to search for someone else.
In the light of the above, your positive responses would be appreciated
through my email (maryanng@wmail.saigonnet.vn ) Please assure me that you
will act accordingly as I stated herein. Hoping to hear from you.
Regards.
Mrs. MaryAnn Galpin
