Subject: FROM MR. TORRES WILLIAMS
My Dearest 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 Williams Torres, a business 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 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 I never really cared for
anyone not even myself but my business.I have a huge funds of
US$25.4million deposited in form of my personal valuables in a consignment
with a security & finance company In UK. I will want you to help me collect
this deposit and dispatch it to charity organizations as stated below.
Recently, my Doctor told me that I have a limited or numbered days on earth
due to the cancerous problems I am suffering from. Though what bothers me
most is the stroke that I have in addition to the cancer. With this hard
reality that has befallen me, I have decided to donate this fund to a
non-governmental, or a non religious,and or a non profit organization or
better still an individual,that will utilize this money the way I am going
to instruct here in. I will prefer an individual,that will use this gift
which comes from me to fund the upkeep of animal shelter homes,destitute,
the downtrodden,physically challenged children, and persons who prove to be
genuinely handicapped financially. It is often said that blessed is the hand
that gives.
I took this decision because I do not have any child that will inherit this
money ,my wife died seven years ago and i decided not to get married again
and my relatives are bourgeois and I once asked members of my family to
close one of my accounts and distribute the money which I have there to
charity organizations in any part of the world, they refused and kept the
money. I do not want a situation where this money will be used in an
ungodly manner, hence the reason for taking this bold decision.
I am not afraid of death since I know where I am going. I do not need any
telephone communication in this regard due to my deteriorating health and
because of the presence of my relatives around me. I do not want them to
know about this development.With God all things are possible. As soon as I
receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the security & finance
company where the fund is loadged. I will also send you the documentation of
the consignment that will empower you as the original beneficiary of this
consignment. My happiness is that I lived a life worthy of emulation.Please
always be prayerful all through your life.
Any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing for an individual for
this same purpose. It is the will of god to contact you.
please reply to this email address: torreswilliams@gmail.com.
Looking forward to your response.
WILLIAMS TORRES.(MGT)
