To Whom It
May
Concern,
My name is
Pat Beech
and I was
married to
Bumpy/Albert
Beech.
Sadly
Bumpy
passed
away 15
months
ago.
During
some
research I
was
conducting
I came
across
your
website
and was
wondering
if I could
ask you a
big favour.
Bumpy
passed
away from
malignant
asbestoses
and I am
desperately
trying to
get hold
of as many
people as
I can who
worked
with him
at the
Mufulira
Mine and
Mufulira
Municipality.
Is there
at all a
possibility
that you
can post a
message on
your
website
asking
anyone who
knew my
husband to
please
contact me
by return
email or
on UK
07746069269.
Thank you
so very
much and I
look
forward to
hearing
from you.
Regards
Pat Beech
