Dear friend,
Greetings to you in the name of our heavenly God. This mail might come to
you as a surprise and the temptation to ignore it as unserious could come
into your mind. but please, consider it a divine
wish and accept it with a deep sense of humility.
My name is Vince Micado. I'm a 65 years old man. I am American living in
Dubai (United Arab Emirate). I was a merchant and owned two businesses in
Dubai. I was also married with two children. My wife and two children died
in september 11, plane bomb blast that happen
in America four years ago.
Before this happened my business and concern for making money was all I
lived for. I never really cared about other values in life. But since the
loss of my family, I have found a new desire to assist
helpless families. I have been helping orphans in orphanage/motherless
homes. I have donated some money to orphans in Sudan, South africa,
Cameroon, Brazil, Spain, Austria, Germany and some Asian countries.
Before I became ill, I kept $15 Million in a long-term deposit account in a
finance company. Presently, I'm in a hospital where I have been undergoing
treatment for oesophageal cancer. I have since lost my ability to talk and
my Doctors have told me that I have only a few months to live. It is my last
wish to see this money distributed to charity organizations Because,
relatives and friends
have plundered so much of my wealth since my illness, I cannot live with the
agony of entrusting this huge responsibility to any of them.
Please, I beg you in the name of God to help me collect the deposit and the
interest accrued from the company and distributes it amongst Hurricane
Katrina victims. Use your judgement to distribute the money and feel free to
reimburse yourself when you have the money for any cost you incure during
the process of collecting and distributing the money to Hurricane Katrina
victims in America.
I'm willing to offer you a reward If you are willing to help. Please reply
as soon as you can to my alternate email: vinmicado@mmail.com
May the good Lord bless you and your family.
Warm Regards,
Vince Micado.
