Dear Friend,
As you read this, I dont want you to feel sorry for
me, because, I believe everyone will die someday.
My name is Mr.Andrew Mabosa, a merchant in
South Africa.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 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 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 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 any more.
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
twenty four million dollars that I have with a security company.I will want
you to help me collect this deposit and dispatched it to charity
organizations.
I have set aside 20% for you for your time and
patience.please reply to

God be with you.
Mr Andrew Mabosa.
