My name is Paula Mandelblaum Olson , Jewish descent ,71 years young
and i lived in Willmar Minnesota until recently. I know you must have a lot of
wondering questions in your mind at this time.
You must also wonder if I don't have any surviving relatives. Well,  i do.
I have a sister who wants nothing to do with me. I was cruel to her
and never helped out when she needed me most, she wants nothing to do
with me. I gave her some money in the past and she returned it,
Wherever she is I only beg her forgiveness and also pray God gives her
a good heart so God does not get upset with her for not forgiving me,
because we must forgive each other if we want God's love to grow
inside us.

I gave a lot of thought before i sent you the email, while reading
various topics on-line ranging from medicine, religion, economics I saw
your email, I don't recall exactly where now, but I saw 3 emails, and
prayed about it and I believe God told me to mail it to the last
email, which happened to be yours so I discarded the others. I assumed
there is a lot of energy that makes up life itself, I also believe
this energy is never random. It is always focused and we need to make
sure the focus is always positive. Negativity harms the sender. I know
about fake mails being sent online, this is not one of them, believe
me when I tell you I've reached the age where the happy hour is a nap.
This disease has changed my approach to life and how things work.
There have been a few times in my life when something appeared to be
so solid, so unbreakable, so much a part of life that I never dreamed
it would change - only to later find myself living in what seemed to
be a whole new world. I remember well the first time I experienced the
loss of a friend. Randy Gross is the person who stepped in when my
father stepped out. He was a gifted businessman in our community and
active in our local church. My sister and i regularly babysat for his
children, and Randy would often drive us home filling the car with a
voice of encouragement met with listening ears. In many ways, it was
Randy who had tucked the pillow of God under my head when I was
prepared to give up on God. Randy was fit and trim. He played
basketball almost every day. And still, Randy's life was stripped
short, stopped in the middle of an ordinary game on the basketball
court when he suffered a heart attack and died at the age of 42. At
that time, the world as I knew it seemed to be turned upside down. I
learned that life is not always fair - that bad things happen to good
people - that some questions arise that will never be answered.

For many of us, the times we are experiencing are unlike anything we
have experienced before. Each week I learn of someone else whose
economic security blanket has been pulled from beneath them.
Individuals who have worked for the same company for 15-20 years are
being asked to leave. People who thought there was no doubt that they
would be retiring from this same company have been given pink slips.
Women and men with master's degrees and extensive experience in a
myriad of fields are working for minimum wage. Countless others are
pounding the pavement, resumes in hand, eager to see what door might
open. And while all of this is happening, those who have retired are
wondering if their hard-earned investments will ever rise to the level
where they were before the economy started to weaken. The World's
economy that once seemed to strong - so indestructible - has been spun
around with us all holding on tight, praying that we have seen the
worst of it and that recovery is on the way. It does not take much for
the world to be changed.

One senseless death.
One lost job.
One parent leaving.
One diagnosis at the doctor's office.
One closed company.
One plane hitting a tower.
One broken heart.
One accident.
One empty tomb.

My own world changed after one diagnosis at the doctor's office.

The reason I sent you the email is to know if you can withdraw my
funds; its presently in a safe deposit box with a depository firm. I
would have been able to do this myself, now I am presently undergoing
treatment at a clinical/research institute on alternative medicine.  I
had to enter a contractual agreement with the institute so they can
treat me with medications and therapy that has not been approved by
the m.a.b ( Medical association board), in return the research center
demanded that their name be kept in confidence, in the event there are
complications arising from these alternative medicines.I was
scared,but i agreed.This is the major reason I cannot withdraw the
funds myself. The money I am giving to you is the last earthly
possession I own, its inside 2 safe deposit boxes.
Although no one knows its cash I have inside the 2 boxes,I  also have
my high yield business returns and tax clearance certificates inside.

1. I need to know if you can help me achieve this last desire of mine.
I want to give to the needy, the widows, orphans and victims of
disasters and Terror attacks. The reference I gave you, I got it from
the phrase save a soul, I wished I had set up a foundation called save a soul.

2. I need to know you can withdraw the boxes if given the opportunity.
I need to know you have a heart for charity, thus would not have any
problem locating deserving charity and human aid groups. The
disbursement of this fund would be entirely in your hands. (I want
at least 80% given to charity)

Let me know if you are capable and willing to do this for me. It would
be wonderful if you could tell me what charities you may have in mind.

I will wait to hear from you.

Cheers,

Paula
