Since after the death of my husband, I decided not to remarry and presently am 60 years old. When my husband was alive he deposited the sum of US$10.5 Million (Ten Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) with a Bank in London. Presently the funds are still with the bank and the management wrote me as the next beneficiary to my late husband to come forward to receive his benefits or have the account confiscated but due to my health condition am unable to go and claim the money as I see no need for it due to my health and life status at this time, but I can authorize someone else I trust to stand as an appointed next of kin on my behalf to receive it.
I have a deadly disease on my Lungs called CANCER and from doctor / physician indications my condition is really deteriorating and is quite obvious that my death is very close to me as I can see my life quickly ebbing away. The stage is worst more than ten months now and I have been hospitalized which affected my ability to talk. I am an orphan, no family back ground, no Parents, brothers, sisters or relatives but my country home origin is Australia where my late husband and I met. We were working in the same construction company in Australia before my late husband was posted and transferred to United Kingdom, which I relocated with him. Due to my poor health condition and based on doctors report, am scared that my life is almost at the end, so I decided to distribute the funds through your great influence and assistant as a widow’s dying wish by utilizing 80% of the total money to the following organizations like churches, orphanages home, handicaps, widows and widowers aro!
