Here writes Novell Frances Anne, suffering from cancerous ailment. I
am married to Engineer David Novell an Englishman who is dead. My
husband was into private practice all his life before his death. Our
life together as man and wife lasted for three decades without child.
My husband died after a protracted illness. My husband and I made a
vow to uplift the down-trodden and the less-privileged individuals as
he had passion for persons who can not help themselves due to
physical disability or financial predicament. I can adduce this to
the fact that he needed a Child from this relationship, which never
came.
When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of 2 Million
(2 Million Great Britain Pounds Sterling which were derived from his
vast estates and investment in capital market with his bank here in
UK. Presently, this money is still with the Bank. Recently, my Doctor
told me that I have limited days to live due to the cancerous
problems I am suffering from. Though what bothers me most is the
stroke that I have in addition to the cancer. With this hard reality
that has befallen my family, and me I have decided to donate this
fund to you and want you to use this gift which comes from my
husbands effort to fund the upkeep of widows, widowers, orphans,
destitute, the down- trodden, physically challenged children, barren-
women and persons who prove to be genuinely handicapped financially.
It is often said 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 bourgeois and very wealthy persons and I
do not want my husband?s hard earned money to be misused or invested
into ill perceived ventures. 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 with the Almighty when I
eventually pass on. The Almighty will fight my case and I shall hold
my peace. I do not need any telephone communication in this regard
due to my deteriorating health and because of the presence of my
husbands relatives around me. 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
bank in UK. I will also issue you a Letter of Authority that will
empower you as the original beneficiary of this fund. My happiness is
that I lived a life worthy of emulation. Please always be prayerful
all through your life. Please assure me that you will act just as I
have stated herein. Hope to hear from you soon and God bless you and
members of your family.you can contact me through my private email
