Good day!
My Principal:- Mr. William Bill Gates, would want to consider you for a ‘Grant Approval’ through his foundation’s philanthropic and financial empowerment platform.
Several people have benefited from this philantropic gesture of the “Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation” and it has helped them move their personal and business life to a greater height. This is in line with Mr. Gates total commitment to the “Giving Pledge”. Should you have any interest in this, get back to me for more information.
Mr. Jim Bromley
Chief Financial Officer
Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation
