Subject: confirm,
Dear,
As you read this, I don't want you to feel sorry for
me, because, I believe everyone will die someday.My
name is Mr Fidelis Shanker , a Gold merchant in Ghana.I
have been diagnosed with Esophageal Cancer
which was discovered very late, due to my laxity in
caring for my health. It has defiled all forms of
medicine, 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 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 these 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 gives me a
second chance to come to this world I
would live my life in a different way from how I have
lived it.
Now that God has called me, I have willed and given
most of my properties and assets to my immediate and
extended family
members and as well as a few close friends. I want God
to be merciful to me and accept my soul and so, I have
decided to give arms to charity organizations and give
succour and comfort to the less priviledged in our
societies, as I want this to be one of the last good
deeds I will do on earth. So far, I have distributed
money
to some charity organizations in the Cote D'Ivoire ,
Algeria and Malaysia. Now that my health has
deteriorated so badly
I cannot do this my self 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 and to the less priviledged in
Bulgaria and , they refused and kept the money to
themselv
es. Hence, I do not trust them anymore, as they seem
not to satisfied with what I have left for them. The
last of my Gold which no one knows
of is the Gold deposit of what of Three million USD.
that I have
with a finance and investment company in europe
for safe keeping. I will want you to help me collect
this
deposit in cash or the gold if you can sell it and disburse it to some charity organizations
and to the less
priviledged.Please send me a mail to indicate if you
will assist me in this
disbursement.I have set aside 10% for you for your
time and You can e-mail me at
While I await to hear from you, may God be with you
and your entire
family.
Thanks in Anticipation
Mr Fidelis Shanker.
