Dear Madam Russ,
I have been wanting to write to you for some time now, unfortunately, I haven't been able to gather my thoughts in order to properly deal with the task at hand.
I would like to let you know that I am now prepared to make a donation to the Polish Orphans Charity in accordance with the will of my late aunt. Her only condition was that the money be used for children's cause. The internationally extended character of your charity's activity seems fitting the reality of my extended family whose members, though deeply linked to Poland, are spread in several countries. The donation will be in the amount of $10,000.00 and I would like it to be recorded in the names of Anna and Edwin Cichon.
My uncles found themselves in England during the World War II. Edwin Cichon had always considered himself to be lucky and vowed to never abandon his parents and siblings who remained in Poland. Over the next few years he would use every opportunity to provide material assistance to his family. After the war my uncle married Anna Chadzynska and soon after they settled in Montreal. Having no children of their own, over the next fifty years my uncles supported their extended families in Poland. In the context of the post war years, it is impossible to over value their generosity. In fact, among my family in Poland Edwin achieved a status of an angel benefactor.
I am also aware that my uncles became active supporters of many causes and organizations, both Polish and local, in Montreal area. It is worth mentioning that my aunt has requested that a significant donation from her estate be made to the Polish Library in Montreal. This has already been done.
The actual payment would be made to Polish Orphans Charity through the Bank of Nova Scotia who are assisting me in caring out the duties of the estate liquidator.
Kind regards,
Witold Allina
