Dear Friend,

This may sound absurd, but it is my true life story.
And as you read this, I do not want you to feel sorry for
me because I believe we will all die someday.

My name is Klaus Wiesenborn , an Oil merchant in Holland.
I have recently been diagnosed of Esophageal Cancer,
which was discovered very late due to the care - free attitude
I attached to issues regarding my health. Right now the ailment
has defiled all forms of medical treatment, which is regrettable,
as I never really cared for anyone not even myself but my business.
And according to my doctors I have only few more months to live.

Now that my health has deteriorated so badly, my wish at this point
is to make some generous donations to cancer / heart foundations,
charity / charitable organisations, to orphanages, to Non Governmental
Organisations (NGOS) dealing with issues relating to HIV/AIDS in Africa

and Asia,to victims of the Tsunami disaster in Indonessia, the displaced

people in Dafur - Sudan and to other less privileged.

Now given my previous experiences with my family and friends with regards

to financial / monetary dealings, I do not feel comfortable allowing them

to deal with this matter, hence my recourse to you for assistance in
achieving this noble objective.

I have deposited the sum of ELEVEN MILLION uNITED STATES DOLLARS ( US$11M
),
with a finance company / Security underwriters . All you need to do therefore

is to transfer this monies / deposits into your bank account with the authority
and necessary documents that I will give to you. And thereafter you are
to
collate information about the aforementioned organisations / foundations
allot
monies to them respectively as your discretion absolutely and entirely allows.

I am willing to offer to you a handsome renumeration of 15% for your assistance

and services.

If you are interested and willing to assist me, please contact
me through this email address and copy me also on : wiesenbornklaus@yahoo.com

for ease of access to your mails.

I anticipate your urgent response, while also requesting that you treat

this matter in strict confidence.

Cheers and God bless.

Mr Klaus Wiesenborn
