This is my personal money and does not need many formal procedures, Some Beneficiaries-have received theirs. My only terms Is That You be good to others too, that's all. As I wait for your response, I wish you a wonderful day. Faithfully, Maria Franca Fissolo_Hello!First and foremost, how are you presently feeling? I hope you are doing as well as possible. Stay close to family and friends and live each day to the fullest. Make a bucket list and try to complete everything on that list, it will give you something to look forward to and most of all, smile and be happy. People enjoy being around those that smile, it brings them joy. I only have a few, less than three friends and many times I call them to speak to them and talk about what I am daily facing. Why? In your act of kindness, you have no idea whom you have reached. I am a single parent with a child that has scoliosis, autism and a brain tumor. I am constantly in hospitals making sure she is okay and the tumor isn't growing. My daughter gets severe headaches, sleeps over 12 hours and most of the time is in bed. I die a little bit each day, but I smile in her presence. My mother, who lives with me is suffering from dementia and some days she is better than others. It is a horrible disease that slowly creeps up on you without giving you the chance to fight back. When I received your letter, first I cried, because of the dementia. Every day I see my mom slowly fading away and there is nothing I can do. I remember her young, dancing in the kitchen while making breakfast and now she barely cooks. When she does try to cook, I have to watch her to make sure the stove is turned off. Cancer is just one of the diseases that slowly eats you away. I can only begin to imagine what your day is like and I really wish God looks upon you and blesses you with all the love, compassion and care you need.You would be doing an act of kindness for my daughter and my mother, if such a gift really came to fruition. I can help them with better doctors and home assistance. I can then work and not have to worry about constantly watching over them.If this gift is real, may God Bless you and your family always. I will always be indebted to you. As I close this note to you, I am in tears, wishing I could hug you and say a prayer for you. May God look upon you every day and bestow you with the solace of knowing you also did for others. God Bless You! If you are a scammer, God has a way of making you pay for what you do to others. Usually, it is not you who pays for your deeds, but those close to you, such as your children, relatives and closest friends. Karma means paying your ill debts on this earth, before you die. Faithfully, AnonymousI have a full plate and do not need a scammer to make matters worse. My cup is full. :{
