Greetings ,
My name is EILERS LISA, a nationality of United Kingdom,I have been
diagnosed with Esophageal cancer. It has defiled all forms of medical
treatment, and right now I have only about a few months to live,
according
to medical experts.I have not particularly lived my life so well, as I
never
really cared for anyone(not even myself)but my business.
Though I am very rich, I was never generous, I was always hostile to
people
and only focused on my business as that was the only thing I cared
for. But now I regret all this as I now know
that there is more to life than just wanting to have or make all the
money in the world.I
believe when God gives me a second chance to come to this world I would
live
my life a
different way from how I have lived it.
Now that God has called me, I have willed and given most of my property
and assets to my
immediate and extended family members as well as a few close friends.I
want
God to be merciful to me and accept my soul, so I have decided to
give alms to charity organizations, as I want this to be one of the
last good deeds I do on earth.
So far, I have distributed money to some charity organizations in the
U.A.E, Somalia and
Malaysia. Now that my health has deteriorated so badly, I cannot do
this myself anymore. I once asked members of my family to close one of
my
accounts and distribute the money which I have there to charity
organization in Bulgaria and Pakistan, they refused and kept the
money to themselves. Hence, I do not trust them anymore, as they seem
not to be contended with what I have left for them but I know that you
are bigger than people who do not mind their reputation. You are famous
and your fame will be made broader as a charitable person and frankly,
I am not concerned if the Charity is not in my name so long as it gets
to those who need help.
The last of my money which no one knows of is the huge cash deposit of
Twenty Eight Million
USD that I have with a finance/Security Company abroad. I will want you
to help me collect this deposit and despatch it to charity
organizations.I have set aside 20% for you and for your time.
God be with you.
Pls do not fail to use this my private email id
eilerslisa@yahoo.co.uk to get back to me for more details
Finally, please ensure that no one else knows about this money as it is
only
myself and a Rev. Father of the church where I workship knows about
this
money. May God bless you as you assist me.
Yours sincerely,
Mrs Eilers lisa
