Dear 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 John Mike Walsh, a merchant in Benin Republic.
I have been diagnosed with Esophageal cancer, which
has defiled all forms of medical treatment, and right
now I have only about a few months to live according
to medical experts reports.
Well I have not particularly lived my life so well, as
I never really care for anyone (not even for myself)
but only my business and money Though I am very rich
without a child to inherit the money, 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 am regretting it all, 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 property and assets
to my immediate and extended family members as well as
a few close friends.
I want God to be merciful to me and accept my soul so
I have decided to give all to the 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 Benin
Republic, U.A.E, Burkina Faso, Algeria and Malaysia.
Now that my health has deteriorated so badly, I cannot
do this myself 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 Thirteen million dollars($13,000,000),
that I have with a finance/Security Company abroad. I
will want you to help me collect this deposit and
dispatched it to charity organizations.
You will have 20% for yourself, for your time and
patience and the remaining 80% you MUST give to
charity, as it is my heart desire before joining my
creator. Please send a reply through this email
address or to (johnwallach@yahoo.com) with your full contact information
for more private and confidential communication- this is very important.
God be with you.
John Mike Walsh.
