Subject: =?iso-8859-1?Q?Re?=
It is indeed my pleasure to write to you this letter, which I believe
will be a surprise, as we are both complete strangers.
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. Wan John, a former 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. 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 l life than just wanting to have or make all the money in the world.
I believe when I have a second chance to come to this world I would live
my life a different way from how I had lived it, now that its dark for 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. To correct
my wrong past life, I have decided to give alms to charity organizations,
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 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 Ten million dollars that I have with a Fudicial
Company Abroad, I will want you to help me collect this deposit and dispatched
it to charity organizations and you must be sending me information of how
it was disbursed either by email or otherwise . I have set aside 10% for
you for your time and
patience.
Thanks.
Mr. Wan John
NB
Please do not share my email address with anyone as I have received some
emails from some unscrupulous people claiming to be charity organizations
and other weird stories.
