My relationship with Joseph & Anne Seilern’

Mr JS called me ‘Anthony Eden’ after the prominent U.K. PM.  He used to play with me in an amusing way…by annoying and interrupting my daily routine in order to make me laugh.

When I started my work in the afternoon at 2 PM, Mrs Anne Seilern served her husband tea & biscuits at 3 PM to and gave me parallel cookies in a napkin as Mr JS would only have his tea with the knowledge that I also had my cookies. 

The Family reminded me over and over again:   “‘You know Eden you are part of the family” and I was always included in any reunion with visitors and introduced as  “This is our Eden”.

When Mr Joseph S. saw me with my husband on the ‘Place de Casino’ he called us to join him for an ice cream at the ‘Cafe De Paris’.

Mr PS Switzerland reminds me of Mr JS and in my opinion, this is why Miss P asked me to contact him in case something would happen to her as she trusted Mr PS Switzerland.

Having lived in Monaco since the 9^th of January 1978 and having lost relatives through the Pandemic in the Philippines, I would prefer to continue living in Monaco with my niece Maria Angela Domdom (photo).   She is my only close relative of whom I am guardian after the death of her mother (my sister)

 My financial situation & status quo changed dramatically after the death of Miss Philippa.  Also, due to language barrier and receiving no income over a period of time left me vulnerable. 

After Miss Philippa died, I went to the Inspection du Travail, Monaco who contacted Maître Rey and then received my full salary until June when my Pension was approved.

 I do not have enough for my daily requirements and prefer to discuss a monthly support calculated in a lumpsum, to secure my life in Monaco for the next 30 years.

My salary when working for Miss Philippa was €3’600 declared 

My pension now is €1’506.12 plus a Complimentary of €404.28, total €1’910.40 a month.

In 1990 I signed a lease for the Studio at 1, Avenue Henry Dunant.  Monthly rent was FF 6’500.00 (€990.92).  2022 rent is €1’579.00.  Water & other charges are inclusive.  My electrical bill amounts to €139.-a quarter.

Further income:

PS Sr. sent me €1’000 both in June and July 2019
and a further €1’000 in March 2022

assures me that €2’000 will be paid monthly starting April 2022.  This will provide a total income of €3’910.40 which after rent & electricity leaves me with €2’294.10

Before Philippa died 

Before Miss P left for Lagos on her last trip, she composed several handwritten letters in her bedroom.  One letter I had to mail from the post office addressed to a Miss Elisabeth in Monaco.

Another time she composed letters and this time asked me to assist her get up from the chair in front of her Büro.  I noticed 3 letters placed on the writing cabinet. 

Miss P asked me « to come with her » to the safety box, that was kept in the corridor between the study room of Mr. Joseph & his private WC behind the entry door to his private rooms.   Miss P asked me to remove the Chinese painting that covered the wall safe.  She opened the safe and I looked away.  She handed me 3 envelopes and asked me to place them inside of the safe above the other documents.

This happened 2 weeks before Miss Philippa’s departure for Lagos , Sept. 23^rd 2017.

The same day she asked me to place 2 additional handwritten letters in the cabinet with 4 drawers, that was placed in the corridor of her father’s private rooms that was used for selected documents for me to have access when Miss P was away from Monaco.  She asked me to place the 2 blanc letters inside of the file for Chauffeur Danny Cabellon.  In my opinion those were instruction for Danny & Myself. 

Page 4 Chapter 1 Paragraph 1

In 2016 Miss Philippa called me from Lagos before her hip operation with the following instructions - In case something would happen to her, to call Mr Peter Seilern (PS Sr.) in Switzerland. 

I asked Miss P, what is his Telephone number? She told me to look at the family directory in the notebook. I then disconnected our call and informed her once I found the number, I will call her back.  I called her back and verified the number I found for Mr Peter Seilern (PS Sr.) in Switzerland, and she confirmed. I then asked her  “Why?”  but she did not answer my question.  She did advise me to save PS Sr’s number in my telephone.

From then onwards she reminded me ‘Over & Over Again’ to call Mr Peter Seilern (PS Sr.) in Switzerland in case something happens to her.

Page 2 Chapter 2 Paragraph:   Last meeting with Mr. Blöchlinger

 Mr Blöchlinger was the last person to visit Miss Philippa in Monaco before she travelled to Lagos where she died. This was the last time I saw Mr Blöchlinger in the Monaco apartment.

Miss P & Mr B were sitting at the living room centre table, and I remember Miss P. holding my IBAN number in her hand and giving it to Mr Blöchlinger.

Mr Blöchlinger asked Miss P by pointing to me ‘IS SHE THE ONE’ and Miss P said ‘YES’

After January 17, 2018 

When Mr. PS Jr came the first time to the apartment, he asked me to show him where the contract of Danny Cabellon, the chauffeur, was kept. 

Before passing the file to Mr PS Jr, I pointed out to Danny « Look Danny there are 2 envelopes here, do you want me to give the 2 envelops with the file? ».  Danny answered ‘OK’.   I believe however that the 2 envelopes were meant for Danny and me.

I then gave the file to Mr PS Jr who opened it in front of us (PS Jr’s father, PS Jr. & his wife, Danny Cabellon and myself).  PS Jr scrolled through the file and checked Danny’s contract.

When he noticed the 2 envelopes, he quickly closed the file mentioning « He will take the file to his secretary ».  He probably realized at that moment that they were important letters.

2-3 weeks later Danny and I visited the ‘Inspecteur du Travail’ and we had a dialogue concerning the 2 envelopes.  The two letters appear to be meant for Danny and myself because the drawer cabinet contained all the important documents I needed to access when Miss Philippa was away.

Mr. PS Jr. returned a 2^nd time the same week  and asked me and Danny to show him the parking place.

I no longer saw Danny after he went to PS Jr’s father asking for the envelopes.  I saw him recently sweeping the Villa Carina (home of FC Seilern (PS Jr.’s father) driveway and it appears that he is now employed as a chauffeur. 

That is when Danny stopped contacting me.

Page 2 Chapter 2 Paragraph 3:   Chauffeur Danny Cabellon 

I learned through a friend that Danny was working as PS Jr’s chauffeur.  In 2020 I passed by the villa of Mr. Frederic Charles Seilern (PS Jr’s father), and I ran into Danny.  He was sweeping the entrance of the villa and I asked him ‘What are you doing here’?  Danny replied, ‘I am working for Mr. Senior Seilern’.  At that moment a French-speaking woman came out of the house asking me ‘What do I want to talk to Danny for?’  She behaved aggressively towards me for no reason.

Page 4 Chapter 2018 Paragraph 1

PS Jr. called 7-10 days after the death of Miss Philippa and informed me that he & his wife were coming to see the apartment. It was a Tuesday and I showed them around. As this was their first time in the apartment, since my being employed from 1983 by Mr & Mrs Joseph Seilern.

After the funeral in Lagos, they visited a second time just before lunch, this time with Mr Seilern Sr. (Boy).

I refused to give him the keys and he was furious.  PS Jr then called someone and passed on his mobile, by telling me it was his brother.  This man explained that he was in charge for the apartment.

The man then asked me, if I spoke French or English, and he continued in English. and informed me that he will send the ‘Letter of Power of Attorney’ to Philippa’s Fax number. 

Page 5 Chapter 3  “After the death of Miss Philippa’ Paragraph 2

The secretary asked me if I wanted to receive the gift of €50 000 and I said YES because I always trusted Mr & Mrs Seilern & their daughter Philippa.  I always accompanied Mr. & Mrs. S on every visit to the Monaco Notary Maître Rey and especially Philippa after the death of her parents.

The secretary asked me if I wanted to receive the gift of €50 000.  I accepted and returned the keys because I “trusted Maitre Rey” as I always accompanied Mr & Mrs S when they visited him. 

Page 5 Paragraph 3

Miss Philippa told me that all the books should go to the Red Cross and the furniture to FCS (Boy).  What to do with Miss P’s clothing, China, Kitchen & Household utensils was up to me to decide.

I received a phone call on my private mobile number from a woman calling me from the Red Cross and requesting that I join her at Miss Philippa’s Apartment for the inventory.

I met 2 Men & 1 Woman (I assume it was the woman who called me) waiting for me in the apartment. They were asking me details of the apartment lay out and where the individual rooms were, especially Miss Philippa’s was placed.  I then opened the doors to each room and the cabinets for their inventory.

I took my personal belongings from the apartment, nothing else.
