Mary sent a message to Nicolas Berggruen Chairman of Berggruen Holdings email address that said:
Hi Nicholas
My name is Mary
I am writing to you today in the hope that you might be able to help me
To start with I had it all
Then suddenly I had to have a major operation
This, I was in no way prepared for
And recovery did take some time
The aftermath of that was I lost every thing
Then a friends Mom helped me. It was a real tough time
She was a super lady. She was a star
She has now passed away.
And her family are selling her house
And yes, you guessed it
I would dearly love to hold on to her house
As it was a little piece of Heaven for me
But I am unable to come up with the amount of cash required
I live in a small rented studio flat
And am working towards a goal
Of getting back to where I used to be which takes time
So I am writing to you in the hope that
You might consider helping me out
In some small way financially
I can assure you, your help with any amount
Would be so greatly appreciated
Kind Regards
Mary
