The strangest visitor

I had the weirdest thing happen to me yesterday.

I was in the shop, drinking a coffee with Vix and this businessman comes in and asks for me. I figured he was a client but it turns out that he is actually a lawyer and he has been looking for me for years. He saw the newspaper article about me and sent me a letter (but I didn’t answer it because he said that he was working for my old school and that means bad news).

Well Vix could see that I was really getting freaked out and was going to ask her to leave but the lawyer suddenly explains that he has brought me a check for $20,000!!! Yes, twenty thousand dollars.

I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. This lawyer said that he didn’t know who gave it to me BUT there was a message with the check - this really old piece of paper that must have been written years ago that just said one thing “Follow your visions…” That’s all. Nothing else. No name. No address. Nothing.

It turns out that the money was left to me in trust of the Bethlehem school and they had to give it to me before my eighteenth birthday so they had hired this lawyer to find me. Maybe it came from Gary and Joy, my foster parents. Maybe they felt guilty for basically selling me to the Bethlehem school. But I don’t think that is very likely to be true.

Vix read the legal papers and said it looked alright so I signed the form he had with him and I took the check. I didn’t know what else to do. I kept laughing but like crying at the same time.. It was like a message from someone I don’t know but someone who cared enough about me to leave me some money.

I don’t even have a bank account.

So I received a bit of a gift. I was at work yesterday, and I got an anonymous letter simply saying 'follow your visions', along with a cheque for $20,000. It's a bit incredible, I appreciate the gesture, however if you're out there and you sent me this note, or you have any information about the individual who sent me this note, I'd really like if you could contact me, because I-- I really don't know what to make of it and I'm a little confused. So, please, contact me with any information.
