MRS TERRY PEKINS
BLESS THY O’ LORD

Greetings to you and your family in the name of God. In my search for a
reliable and God fearing person and having gotten your contact through
prayersand painstaking efforts I have decided to seek your help in carrying out
my last wish .My names are TERRY PEKINS. I’m a 65yrs old woman and a British
living in Dubai (United Arab Emirate). He was a merchant and owned two
businessesin Dubai.

I was also married with two children. MY HUSBAND and two children
died in a car accident six years ago. Before this happened my business and
concern for making money was all I lived for. I never really cared about
other values in life. But since the loss of my family, I have found a new
desire to assist helpless families. I have been helping orphans in
orphanage/motherless homes.

I have also donated some money for humanitarian needs in Sudan, South
Africa,Cameroon, Brazil, Spain, Austria, Germany and some Asian countries.
Only recently I saw on television the colossal loss of properties andlivelihood
of people in Canberra, Australia through fire.
I was moved with great pity and compassion that I decided to make a
contribution on assisting people over there.

Before I became ill, I kept $12.5 Millio in a long-term deposit account in a finance company.
Presently, I’m in a hospital where I have been undergoing treatment for oesophageal cancer.
I have since lost my ability to talk and my doctors have told me that I
have only a few months to live. It is my last wish to see this money
distributed to victims of this fire outbreak in Australia and other charity
organizations.

Because relatives and friends have plundered so much of my wealth since
my illness, I cannot live with the agony of entrusting this huge
responsibility to any of them. Please,I beg you in the name of God to help me collect the
deposit and the interest accrued from the company and distribute it
accordingly.

Use your judgement to distribute the money and keep 5% of it to yourself.
Feel free to reimburse yourself when you have the money for any cost you
incur during the process of collecting and distributing the money. If you
are willing to help, CONTACT AT terry _pekins@ tiscali .co.uk
please reply as soon as you can. May the good Lord
bless you and your family.

Regards
MRS TERRY PEKINS
