Dear my quest to locate a responsible friend and partner to bring my dreams to a reality,hence l took this bold step to
contact you through this medium and l would not like you to take an offense that l am bothering you since you do not
know me neither have we met before.I am Mrs. Grace Strecker from Kuwait. I am married to Mr. Christian Strecker
who worked with Kuwait embassy in Germany for nine years, before he died in the year 2002.we were both
married for eleven years without a child.He died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days. Before his death
we were both involved in charity services.Since his death I decided not to re-marry or get a child outside my
matrimonial home which is against my principle.When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of
$18.6million (eighteen million six hundred thousand u.s.dollars) with a Financial consulting firm.Presently,this money
is still with the finance firm for safekeeping.Recently, my doctor told me that I would not last for the next three
months due to my cancer problem.Though what disturbs me most is my stroke sickness.
Having known my condition of health I have decided to donate this fund to charity, orphanage or an individual that
will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct here in.I want an individual that will use these fund-to-fund
charity,orphanages and widows and to ensure that these set of people are well maintained.I took this! decision n
because I don't have any child that will inherit this money and my husband relatives are well of and I don't want my
husband's hard earned money to be misused by them. As I do not want a situation whereby this money will be used
in an ungodly manner.Hence the reasons for taking this bold decision. I am not afraid of death because l have lived a
fulfilled life. As it i s right now,I don't want them to know about this development.As soon as I receive your reply I
shall give you the contact of the finance firm. I will also issue you a letter of authority that will prove you as the
original-beneficiary of this said fund.I want you to see to the need of the less privileged.My happiness is that I lived a
fulfilled life and l don't have any regrets in life. Please note that any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing
for another individual as I stated here in.Do get back at me to my private mail address gkataster@hotmail.com for
more details to proceed.Hoping to hear from you soonest and do notify your interest to help me assist charity.
Regards,
Mrs.Grace Strecker
