Greetings,
As you read this, I don't want you to feel sorry for
me, because, I believe everyone will die someday.
My name is Robert M .McColouch, a merchant in Dubai,
in the U.A.E.I have been diagnosed with Esophageal
Cancer which was discovered very late, due to my
laxity in carrying 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 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 focus 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 that 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 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 confort to the less
priviledged in our societies, as I want this to be one
of the lastgood 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 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 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
cash deposit of eighteen million dollars($18m) that I
have with a Security Company in Europe for safe
keeping. I will want you to help mecollect this
deposit and disburse it to some charity organizations
and to theless priviledged.
Please send me an mail to indicate if you will assist
me in this disbursement. I have set aside 20% for you
for your time and patience.
You can e-mail me at my netscape email address:
robertmmcc2@netscape.net and which I receive your response ,
I shall beginning to communicate with you through my private
Email address for easy communication.
While I await to hear from you, may God be with you
and your entire family.
Remain blessed,
Robert M.McColouch.
