This is about my son Michael, Please love and take care of him

“Dearest beloved” doesn’t have a son, and I’d lay odds that “Doris Newman” has never been married or outside her own country. She wants you to give her money—lots of money, and if you reply, she will start demanding it. Be wise and don’t be taken in by her “tearful letter”—there’s not one word of truth to it. If you click on the link, you will discover lots of stories about the Tsunami—anyone can find a tragic news article and make it their very own little drama. Hit the delete button and forget about her and her “son”.

Dearest beloved,
Compliments! Please do not take this mail as scam because I am writing you with tears in my eyes.You may find my mail very pitiful as you read but I do not want your pity. I only want your kindness,.My name is Doris Newman and I live in London United Kingdom , I was married to the late James Newman who died together with our two daughters and many other Indonesians on 26th Dec 2004 during the Tsunami disaster. View this website: http://www.guardian.co.uk/gall/0,,1380645,00.htmlWe all were supposed to travel to Indonesia for Christmas, but my bad health, did not permitme to travel with them, this made me and my son to stay behind while my husband and our twodaughters traveled. If not, all of us would have perished in the Tsunami disaster.I have been suffering from malignant cancer and diabetes which also compounded to hearingdifficulty lately and since after the death of my family members, my cancer sickness worsened.At present, my only means of communication is through body language and writingMy son's name is Michael Newman and he is only 9 years old. However, I am a dedicatedmother and always take care of my surviving child regardless of my ailment.
I am not writing this letter because of my terminal illness rather it is because of the future myson, Michael. He is likely experience sadness and lack of care if I die soon as I was told bythe doctors after the diagnosis a week ago. I have nobody to take care of him if I die.I despise the orphanage and I would not like Michael to inhabit there as an orphan when I die.I am aware of the sad experiences orphans pass through while in the orphanage or homes.Due to the sad experiences I had as a foster child, I do not want my son to live in any home.
I have been told that I may not live longer than few weeks as a result of the damage thethe cancer cells and diabetes have caused in my body. The hospital management suggested thatI should sign a medical undertaken before they can carry out an emergency surgery to save my life.They insisted that I must sign an undertaken before surgery because according to doctors lifethreatening surgery requires the consent of the patient before it could be done. This informationhas put me into confusion and this is the reason why I am confiding in you in order to securea better home for my son before I undergo the surgical operation.
Obviously, I am afraid because there is a possibility that I may die while undergoing the operation,hence my son's upbringing is my greatest worry. I have put my life in Gods hand to keep!I am only appealing to you to take care of him for me.I do not have relatives here in London totake care of him if I die. I can not trace my relatives in Indonesia since after the Tsunami disasterand I believe they are all dead.
I have a Trust Fund deposit that worth 780,000 pounds in Abbey bank which I inherited from my husband as his next of kin. I kept this money on trust fixed deposit because I intend to invest with it in our son's name when he grows up. I know this money can help you to take care of Michael's needs and his education. I will give you information about my Trust fund and make you my next of Kin for if accept to take care of my son.
I am appealing to you to take care of Michael as your own son not because of the money I am offering to you but for the love of my son. Please let me know if you are willing to take care of my son. I know that the priest will eventually put him in the orphanage if i die without finding someoneto take care of him.
Please consider my appeal because I really need someone to take care of Michael in confidencebefore I can sign any undertaken for the surgery. I prayed over my decision to find you worthyof this trust.
Please reply me with your name and address if you are willing to take care of my son..
God Blessings,
Doris Newman
