==================================
Dear Friends and Colleagues,

Our dear friend, colleague, and comrade, Paulus Gerdes, recently died after a protracted illness. His wife however is in needs of some   financial help.  On Tuesday, 11 November, he would have celebrated his 62nd birthday.  As you know, he was hospitalized for over a month.  He was fighting valiantly for his health but lost that fight on 10th November.  He underwent three surgeries.  The financial issue emerged since Paulus had to be medi-evacuated from a clinic in Maputo to a hospital in Johannesburg and incurred expenses for about month stay in the hospital, three surgeries, hotel stay for his wife, and so on.  None of that are covered by medical insurance that he had,  Stela has not worked in weeks and would appreciate any immediate financial assistance you can offer.  Here’s information that you need to transfer funds to her:
