Subject: ASSISTANCE
Dear friend,
Greetings to you in the name of our heavenly God. This mail might come
to you as a surprise and the temptation to ignore it as unserious could
come into your mind; but please, consider it a divine wish and accept
it
with a deep sense of humility.
My name is Cliff Richards . I'm a 65 years old man. I am British living
in Dubai (UnitedArab Emirate). I was a merchant and owned two
businesses
in Dubai. I was also married with two children. My wife and two
children
died in a car accident six years ago.
Before this happened my business and concern for making money was all I
lived for. I
never really cared about other values in life. But since the loss of my
family, I have found a new desire to assist helpless families. I have
been
helping orphans in orphanage/ motherless homes. I have donated some
money
to orphans in Sudan, South Africa, Cameroon, Brazil, Spain,
Austria,Germany
and some Asian countries.
Before I became ill, I kept $15 Million in a long-term deposit account
in
a finance company . Presently, I'm in a hospital where I have been
undergoing
treatment for oesophageal cancer. I have since lost my ability to talk
and
my Doctors have told me that I have only a few months to live.
It is my last wish to see this money distributed to charity
organizations.
Because relatives and friends have plundered so much of my wealth since
my illness, I cannot live with the agony of entrusting this huge
responsibility
to any of them. Please, I beg you in the name of God to help me collect
the deposit and the interest accrued from the company and distributes
it
amongst charity organizations.
Use your judgement to distribute the money and feel free to reimburse
yourself
when you have the money for any cost you incure during the process of
collecting
and distributing the money to charity organizations. . I'm willing to
offer
you a reward If you are
willing to help; please reply as soon as you can.
May the good Lord bless you and your family
Regards,
Cliff RICHARDS
