Man Anonymously Donates His Life Savings Worth Kd 165,000 To City
An elderly Japanese man has anonymously donated his life’s savings in cash to a city outside of Tokyo, an unexpected financial windfall as the economy reels from the fallout of the coronavirus pandemic.
The man, who did not identify himself, appeared at city hall in Yokosuka on Monday and asked that a backpack with a letter inside be given to the mayor, the official who met him told AFP.
“We found 60 million yen (KD 165388) in cash inside and a letter saying ‘This is the money I’ve been saving since the first grade. Please make use of it. It’s a donation,” said the official.
The man appeared to be in his 70s or 80s and declined to give his name, saying he wanted to stay anonymous.
“We’ve never received such a big donation from an anonymous person,” the official added.
