From: Sylvia Hughes <service_tw@whirlpool.com> Date: Fri, Aug 21, 2026 at 2:28 AM Subject: Charity project To: Recipients <service_tw@whirlpool.com> My Dear Friend , I hope this message does not appear strange because I'm not asking for money. My only lawyer passed away early last year. I found your email through your country's guest book, which I found in my late husband's archives. If God allows me more time, I would love to visit again. Based on your good reputation, I want to ask for your help with carrying out my will and see if I can trust you. My name is Mrs. Sylvia Hughes from London. I'm 70 years old and currently battling endometrial cancer. I want you to help me set up a charity project using the money I inherited from my late husband, who died in a car accident. I grew up in an orphanage and was married to him for 39 years, but we never had children. Since getting sick, some so-called friends have taken advantage of my wealth, and I can't trust any of them with this responsibility anymore. So, I sold all my inherited possessions and deposited Nine Million Pounds £9,000,000.00 with my bank. What I need now is someone honest who will use at least 60% of the money as I direct for the charity, and the remaining 40% will be yours as thanks for helping me carry out this mission. Donating this money is the legacy I want to leave behind after I am gone. No money is required from you to carry on with this project because it is my heart's desire to make a generous gift to you to work for a charity in your country.You dont need to send me any money or anything like that. It doesn't matter what religion you follow,Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism. I just need to know that you are trustworthy because there are too many greedy people these days everywhere in the world. Once you respond, I will share more details with you. Best wishes, Mrs. Sylvia Hughes
