Dear Sherri
My names are Daniel Mills. i'm a 65 years old man. i
am british living in Dakar ( Senegal). i'm
a merchant and owned two businesses in Dakar. i was
married, and two children. my wife and my 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 familes. i
have been helping orphans in orphanage/ motherless
homes. i have donated some money to orphans in sudan,
south africa, cameroun, brazil, spain, austria
germany and Tsunami. before i became ill,
i kept some money, Nine and a half million dollars
($9.5million) to be precise in a long term deposit
account in a security company in the Netherlands Holland.
presently,i'm in a hospital. my doctors told me i have prostrate
cancer that i have a few months to live.it is my last
wish to see this money distributed to charity
organizations. because so much of my wealth has been
plundered by relatives and friends since my illness,i
cannot live with the agony of entrusting this huge
responsibility to any of them even my lawyer
who is going to help you.
since the money is in the security company it is
the last of my funds that i have left i am some
how stranded in the hospital because my
firends and relative have misuse all my funds
that i left in thier posession. please, i beg you in
the name of God to help me collect the deposit from
the security company in Holland and distribute it
amongst charity organizations. use your judgement to
distribute the money and keep 5% of it to yourself.
feel free to reimburse yourself when you have the
money for any cost you incure during the process of
collecting and ditributing the money to charity
organizations. may the good Lord bless you and your
family.
i await your urgent response.
please reply to this mail as i can only reply
through my labtop can not talk very well:
sincerly,
Daniel mills
