Subject: HELLO
Dear .
Greetings to you and your family in the name of God,in my search for a reliable and God fearing person and having gotten your contact through prayers and pains taking efforts via searching i made on the internet on my sick bed. Presently, I'm in a hospital where I have been undergoing treatment . I have since then lost my ability to talk and my doctors have told me that I have limited time to stay here on earth.
My name is Walter Harrison,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 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, since i lost my wife and only daughter in auto accident twelve years ago.Nothing else makes meaning to me, 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 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 properties and assets to my immidaite 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 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 Philippine 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 cash deposit of $9.4 million dollars in a financial institution. I will want you to help me collect this deposit and disburse it to some charity organizations and to the less priviledged.Presently this money is still with the financial instiution and the management just wrote me to come forward or rather issue a letter of authorization to somebody that can receive the money on my behalf if I cannot come over. I am presently in a hospital where I've been undergoing serious treatment . I want a person that is trustworthy that will utilize this money to poor and indigent persons, orphanages, and widows.
As soon as you assured me that you are willingly to assist me out in this transaction, i will kindly send you all the evdience proves concerning the existence of the fund in the Financial institution.I took this decision because I do not have any child that will inherit this money and my relatives are not inclined in helping poor people and i want to make sure my last wish is accomplished here on earth, as there's no hope of me to survive.
Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated here in and Keep this contact confidential till such a time this money get to your custody. This is to ensure that nothing jeopardizes my last wish on Earth.What is required of you is your honesty, trust and sincerity.
Any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing for another individual for this same purpose.
GOD BLESS YOU
Mr Walter Harrison
