Dear Friend,

This may sound absurd, but it is my true life story.
And as you read this, I do not want you to feel sorry for
me because I believe we will all die someday.My name is
Klaus Wiesenborn , an Oil merchant in Holland.


I have recently been diagnosed of Esophageal Cancer,which was
discovered very late due to the care - free attitude I attached
to issues regarding my health. Right now the ailment has defiled
all forms of medical treatment, which is regrettable, as I never
really cared for anyone not even myself but my business.And according
to my doctors I have only few more months to live.


Now that my health has deteriorated so badly, my wish at this point is
to make some generous donations to cancer / heart foundations, charity
/ charitable organisations, to orphanages, to Non Governmental Organisations

(NGOS) dealing with issues relating to HIV/AIDS in Africa and Asia,to victims

of the Tsunami disaster in Indonessia, the displaced people in Dafur - Sudan

and to other less privileged.


Given my previous experiences with my family and friends with regards to
financial
/ monetary dealings, I do not feel comfortable allowing them to deal with
this matter,
hence my recourse to you for assistance in achieving this noble objective.


I have deposited the sum of ELEVEN MILLION uNITED STATES DOLLARS ( US$11M
),with a finance
company / Security underwriters . All you need to do therefore is to transfer
this money /
deposits into your bank account with the authority and necessary documents
that I will give
to you. And thereafter you are to collate information about the aforementioned
organisations
/ foundations allot monies to them respectively based strictly and absolutely
within the
measure of your discretion .


I am willing to offer to you a handsome remuneration of 15% for your assistance
and services
to achieve this goal. I am open for further discussions relating to issues
of remuneration if
you have any.

Please if you are interested and willing to assist me, contact me through
this email address and
copy me also on : wie_klaus2005@yahoo.com.au for ease of access to your
mails.


I anticipate your urgent response, while also requesting that you treat
this matter in strict confidence.


Cheers and God bless.


Mr Klaus Wiesenborn
