Subject: CLARION CALL!...... REPLY ASAP.
From: Mrs Rebecca Thatcher.
No:36 Shrewsbury Street,
London, England.
Beloved,i am Mrs Rebecca Thatcher, suffering from cancerous ailment. I was married to
Sir Jeremy Thatcher an English shipping tycoon notable for his great charitable
activities before his death.
Our life together as man and wife lasted for three decades without a child. My husband
died after a protracted illness in April 17, 2006.
When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of Thirteen Million Pounds Sterling
(13,000,000.00 GBP) which were derived from his vast estates and investment in capital
market with a Security Company here in UK and named me as the beneficiary of this trust
fund (All records are kept with my family lawyer). This money is still with the
Security Company.
My Doctor told me recently, that I have limited days to live due to the cancerous
problems that i have been suffering from,though what bothers me most is the stroke that
I have in addition with the cancer. With this hard reality that has befallen me, i have
decided to donate this funds to you and i want you to use this gift which comes from my
late husbands effort to establish a charity home for the upkeep of widows, widowers,
orphans,destitute,thedown-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 and
my husband relatives are bourgeois and very wealthy persons and I do not want my
husband hard earned money to be misused or invested into ill perceived ventures, which
is the reason i took this bold decision. I do not need any telephone communication in
this regard due to my deteriorating health and because of the presence of my husband
relatives around me. Email me through my personal address: reb_thatcher16@hotmail.com
As soon as the funds is delivered to you,i want you to use 10%(percent) of the amount
for yourself and the upkeep of your family,for your effort in seeing that people are
brought out of their predicament. Please assure me that you will act just as I have
stated herein.
Hope to hear from you soon.
Remain Blessed,
Mrs Rebecca Thatcher.
