Subject: MRS. KAREN WALTER (JP)
26 Kensington Court,
Madrid Spain.
MY PERSONAL DONATION FOR THE NEEDY
I am the above named person but now undergoing medical treatment in Madrid
Spain. I am married to Dr. Jim Walter who worked with Spainish Railway
Commission in Madrid Spain for over a decade before he died in February
2006. 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 wealth for 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 matrimonial home. When my late husband was alive he deposited the
sum of £10 Million (Ten Million Pounds sterling) in a Vault with a
security/Finance House in Europe.Presently,this money is still there.
Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not last for the next 150 days due
to cancer problem.Though what disturbs me most is my cancer. 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 herein.I want an individual that will
use this fund to provide succor to the poor and indigent persons,
orphanages, and above all those affected in the Hurricane disaster.
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 as 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.
As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the
Security/Finance House in Europe. 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 is
that lived a life worthy of emulation and whosoever that wants to serve the
Almighty God, must serve him in spirit 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.
Thank you and may the Almighty God bless you.
