Greetings,

Knowing well that this is not your usual business email, I crave your patience to read what I have to propose. My name is Mrs Gloria Alice,am a 71 years old New Zealand widow resident in London, United Kingdom. In August 12, I will celebrate 5 years as a multiple myeloma (MM) survivor. I am fortunate that my initial treatment, and the current one I am on, have controlled my disease well and allowed me to live an active and normal life. The only change has been to make me more aware of the love and beauty that surround me and increase the joy of every day.

I lost my husband to cancer in 2007 and until then He was a Manager with Africa Oil Company Ltd (GOIL / GOC), a partly British-owned company in Africa. He has being the source of my joy and inspiration and has supported me financially in my many charity works. We were a loving couple, our only pain was our inability to bear children, though we tried to make it up, by helping as many children as we could.

During the 5 years of my illness I founded a private trust fund which received funding from my late husband's investment turnover and donation from private groups and donates this money to Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation (MMRF)'s Race for Research and other research foundation for the cure and prevention of multiple myeloma (MM) and other forms of cancer. The MMRF is the #1 funder of myeloma research worldwide, and is making a difference every year for myself and other people with this rare and incurable cancer. Through MMRF funding and coordination of the efforts of researchers, drug companies and the Food and Drug Administration, three new myeloma drugs have been developed and marketed within the past 5 years, including the drug revlimid which I have been taking since February of this year. An MMRF consortium of 15 cancer centres is also currently working on dozens of promising new drugs.

I am writing to ask for your support in establishing a similar trust fund in your country that will not just only provided funding for research organization but also support for people with various forms of cancer in your local communities. I shall donate all the fix deposit to you for the purpose of this task. Kindly reply with your full name and telephone number to researchm@xtra.co.nz if you are interested in working with me so I can provide you with further information.

Best Wishes
Mrs Gloria Alice
