Subject: GOOD MORNING
Dear Friend,
As you read this, I don't want you to feel sorry for me, because, I believe
everyone will die someday. My name is Mrs. Pualina Gomez , an American
merchant Liveing in Safat, (Kuwait) I was married with two children. My
Husband and two children died in a Train accident six years ago. I have been
diagnosed with cancer of the lungs. It has defiled all forms of medical
treatment to the extent i can not talk again neither do i do something of my
own, 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 and my immediately family) but my business. Though I
am so blessed with wealth, I was never generous, I am 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 , I have decided to give arms 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, Algeria 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. The last of
my money which no one knows of is the huge of Ten Million American
dollars (U.S.$10.000,000) that I have with a finance/Security Company in
Cotonue Benin Republic.
I would want you to help me collect this deposit as new Beneficiary of the
fund before you dispatched it to charity organizations. I have set aside
only 20% for you and for your time and also 5% as miscellaneous expenses.
Reply me at your earliest convenience for more directives so that i can link
you up with the security company tO go ahead with them.Please every of your
correspondence should be sent to my alternative mail box as:
gomez_paulina001@yahoo.fr
God be with you.
Regards,
Pualina Gomez
