Use our suggested wording

“I give and bequeath free of all duties (here state the amount/percentage or share/residue or assets to be gifted) to THE CHRISTINA GHOBADI FOUNDATION absolutely for the general charitable purposes of the said Foundation and I direct that a receipt of the proper officer for the time being of The Christina Ghobadi Foundation Pty Ltd shall be a good and sufficient discharge to my trustee/s.”
