From: Lady Rebecca Thatcher.

Beloved,
I am Lady Rebecca Thatcher, suffering from cancerous ailment.I used to be
married to Sir Jeremy Thatcher an English man who is dead and resting
peacefully. My husband was into private practice all his life before he
passed.When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of Twenty Million
Pounds (20,000,000.00 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
thecancerous 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 me, I have decided to donate this funds to you and want you to use
this gift which comes from my late husbands hard work 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.I took this decision because I do not have any child that will
inherit this money.
My happiness is that I lived a life worthy of emulation.Please assure me
that you will act just as I have stated herein. Hope to hear from you soon.
You can contact me through my personal email address
at:rebeccasfunds2@hotmail.com
Stay Blessed as you carry out this humanitarian task.
Sincerely yours
Lady Rebecca Thatcher.
