I am really pleased with this idea! I always new about people writng their last will and testament when they are old or sick. But I used to wonder, but what if I die tomorrow? Even though I’m only 20 years old if something were to happen to me tomorrow, I would like to leave certain thoughts and things to the people I care about. So I guess this a way I can do that.

I, STEPHANIE HUGHES, residing at Tokyo,Japan, being of sound mind, do hereby make, publish and declare this to be my Last Will and Testament and do revoke any and all other Wills and Codicils heretofore made by me.
