    Good Afternoon ,
    My Name is Maryann Abraham and all though we are far from ever meeting or knowing each other I do commend you and your wife for even caring. I feel that many people, exspecially wealthy people, take for granteed the blessing that they were blessed with. I to have many dreams and hope to one day be able to forfill them, for the sake of my children and their generation of children. I currently moved to Philadelphia, PA from NY thinking it would be a wonderful place to raise my children and boy was I wrong. There is so much going on here that a lot of people are left out of the loop from. The crime rate is horrible and the cost of living will soon reach NYC . I am currently the only person working in my household. I have a wonderful husband who takes care of our son and a daughter who will soon start kindergarden. I work twice as hard just to try and provide what I can for my children. I do wish day after day that I had a break through where money was there for investments and was there for helping the community and my wonderful family members. I to have a dream and although I will never be as successful as you and your wife Mr. Gates I only hope that you appreciate everyday what our lord had given you. You are truly blessed and I hope you make a big difference in this world by helping those way less unfortiniate then yourself.

    I have much respect for you and your wife for the good you are doing, I am from Mississippi,Jackson that is and I want to know for all the good you do, are you involved with the Microsoft CorpWorld Lottery Awards that are in South Africa, Johnnesburg. and the HSBC Bank of London, I am asking because I keep getting e-mails from someone name Joe Chandler +27-83-698-7760 wanting to know all of my personal information in order to claime the money. I t also signes your in service Mr. Richard K. Lloyd., now my point for doing this is to stop people in Africa from using people names for to optain information and use it for other purpouses. Africa is know for doing this to people who they feel are weak for money and fool enough to fall for it. Since i don't know about all of you orginations in Africa, i would like to know more and pray you keep up the good work on helping people who really need it.I hate to say it but Africa is known for scaming american women. And a lot of fall for this, and i reall feel a lot need to be done to inform women of this kind of scam, so many have fallen by the words you are the winner of the MICROSOFT CORP WORLD LOTTERY AWARD.. IS THIS ANOTHER SCAM FROM AFRICA ?? DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THIS ORGINATIZION?? YOUR NAME IS BEING USED AS ONE OF THE FOUNDERS AND SPONSERS, JUST BEING CAREFUL AND WANT TO KNOW MORE ...
