Dear Friend,
First,I must apologise to you for using this medium to communicate about
this transaction, though it is my great pleasure in writing you this letter.This
letter may come to you as a surprise due to the fact that we have not yet
met. I have to say that I have no intentions of causing you any pains so
i decided to contact you through this medium .As you read this, I don't
want you to feel sorry for me,because, I believe everyone will die someday.
My name is Dikko Mokell, a merchant in Cotonou, in the Republic du Benin.I
have been diagnosed with prostate and esophageal Cancer that was discovered
very late due to my
laxity in caring for my health.It has defiled all form 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 if i am been giveing a second chance to come
to this world I would live my life a different way from how I have lived
it.
Now that I know my time is near, 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 and Schools in the Benin Republic. 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,Benin Republic, U.A.E, London and Ireland. Now that
my health has deteriorated so badly.I cannot do this myself any more. I
once asked members of my family to close one of my accounts and donate the
money, which I have there to charity organization in Bulgaria, 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 is the huge cash deposit($10.5million ) that
I have with Financial Firm .I will want you to help me collect this deposit
and dispatched it to charity organizations and let them know that it is
I Dikko Mokell that is making this generous
donation.I pray that you assist me with good heart,because my lawyer will
be there to assist you in anyway necessary with all proper documentation.
You can write via dikkomok7154@yahoo.com for utmost confidentiality.
Mr Dikko Mokell.
