Subject: Dear Friend
Dear Friend,
Dear friend, I apologize if the contents hereunder are contrary to your
moral ethics, but please treat it with absolute secrecy and personal
courtesy. Though, this medium (Internet) has been greatly abused, I choose
to reach you through it because it still remains the fastest, surest and
most secured medium of communication. However, this correspondence is purely
private, and it should be treated as such.
As you read this, I don't want you to feel sorry for me, because, I believe
everyone will die someday. My names are Robert McCulloch McArdle, an
Australian, in the U.A.E. I have been diagnosed with esophageal cancer which
was discovered very late, due to my laxity in caring for my health. This
decease has defiled all forms of medication and right now I have only about
a few moments to live on earth, 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. Although, I am wealthy but not
generous, I was always hostile to people and focus more on my business as
that was the only thing I cared for since I lost my wife and children in an
auto accident but now I regret all these, as I now realized that there is
more to life than just wanting to keep to yourself.
Now that God has called me, I have willed and given most of my properties
and assets to my relations and as well as a few close friends because I want
God to be merciful to me and accept my soul and so, I have decided to give
alms to charity organizations, as I want this to be one of the last good
deeds I will do on earth but my health has deteriorated so badly, that I can
not do this myself.
I once asked members of my family to close 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 and confide in 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 cash deposit of
"US$16.3M" that I lodged as precious materials with a Security company in
Europe.
I need a God fearing and trustworthy person that will be able to travel to
Europe, to collect this deposit from the security company and dispatched it
to any notable charity organizations, in
redeeming my vow to almighty God.
I will be trusting to hear from you soon, remain blessed and God be with you
and your family.
Kind regards,
Robert McCulloch McArdle.
