DEAR FRIEND,
MY NAME IS MR. MARK WEST AND I WAS BORN ON THE 1ST OF OCTOBER1943,THAT MAKES
ME 62 YEARS THIS YEAR. I WAS NOT BORN WITH THE PROVERBIAL SILVER SPOON.AND
YEARS OF POVERTY AND HUNGER PROVIDED ME A PLATFORM TO STRIVE TO SUCCEED
IN LIFE AND THIS I MUST CONFESS I DID,ALL THE WAY TO THE TOP.IN DOING SO
I PROMISED MY SELF TO NEVER SHOW LOVE OR MERCY TO ANYONE,AND THIS I DID
WITH HATE IN MY HEART AND NO LOVE.
OVER THE YEARS,I MADE ENOUGH MONEY TO HAVE THE BASIC NEEDS OF MY CHOICE,I
NEVER MARRIED,BUT HAD CHILDREN TWO BOYS WHOM I JUST HAD TO TOLERATE FOR
I WAS TOLD THEY HAD MY BLOOD FLOWING IN THEIR VEINS.I CAN NOT REMEMBER EVER
FEELING LOVE FOR THEM.AND THIS ATTTUDE I ALSO SHOWED TO ANY ONE FOR I BELIEVED
THAT THEY JUST WANT TO BE WITH ME FOR THE MONEY.AND I ALWAYS ASKED MY SELF
WHERE THEY WERE WHEN I WAS HUNGRY AND CRYING AS A CHILD.I SWORE NEVER TO
SHOW LOVE TO ANY ONE BECAUSE THE WORLD DIDNT SHOW ME LOVE.
ONE YEAR AGO I WAS DIAGNOSED WITH CANCER AND WITH ALL MY WEALTH AND POWER,NOTHING
AND NO ONE CAN SAVE ME.WHEN I WAS TOLD OF MY ILLNESS,A SUDDEN CALM TOOK
OVER ME AND I FOUND MYSELF FULL OF TEARS AND REGRET FOR MY LIFE FLASHED
BEFORE ME LIVING ME PERPLEXED. AND THERE AND THEN I RESOLVED TO MAKE AMENDS
FOR
ALL THE PAIN I CAUSED EVERYONE DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY. SO I DECIDED TO SET
UP A TRUST FUND FOR THE NEEDY.AND I MADE MY SONS THE SIGNATORY TO THE ACCOUNT,LEAVING
THEM WITH THE RESPONSIBILTY OF DISBURSING FUNDS TO ORGANISATIONS OF MY CHOICE.NOW
I HAVE RELIABLE INFORMATION THAT MY WISH HAS NOT BEEN CARRIED OUT AS I INSTRUCTED.FOR
MY OWN FLESH AND BLOOD,HAVE CONSPIRED TO STEAL WHAT I ASKED TO GIVE TO THE
NEEDY.
NOW I HAVE DECIDED THAT I WILL GET SOMEONE THAT CAN HELP ME DISBURSE THE
FUNDS WORTH $10MILLION AMERICAN DOLLARS LODGED IN TRUNK BOXES IN THE VAULT
OF A SECURITY COMPANY IN EUROPE.THIS FUNDS WILL BE GIVEN TO CHARITABLE ORGANISATIONS
OF MY CHOICE.I NEED TO HELP THOSE IN NEED IN AS MUCH AS NOONE RENDERED ME
ANY HELP WHEN I WAS IN NEED. AS I AM IN PAINS I WISH THAT YOU CAN HELP A
DYING MAN WITH HIS LAST WISH.THIS IS ALL THEY MONEY I HAVE BUT IN MY PRESENT
CONDITION I WILL BE HAPPY IF THE OPHANS AND CHARITY ORGANISATIONS HAVE THIS
MONEY THAN THE BANK TO CONFISTICATE IT AFTER MY DEATH.
I WANT TO STATE HERE THAT THIS PERSON WILL RECEIVE A 30% OF $10MILLION FROM
ME BUT IF YOU CHOOSE TO DO IT FOR FREE GOD WILL SURELY REWARD YOU AND YOUR
GENERATIONS YET UNBORN AS MY ILLNESS IS GRADUALLY EATING DEEP INTO ME,I
NEED THAT SOMEONE THAT WILL BE MY EYES.ALL ARRANGEMENTS WILL BE MADE WHEN
YOU GET IN TOUCH WITH ME.YOU WILL RECEIVE INSTUCTIONS ON WHAT TO DO.THIS
IS A CRY FOR HELP AND I NEED A HAND TO EASE THE PAIN.THANK YOU FOR YOUR
TIME.
PLEASE IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN HELPING GODS LESS PRIVILAGE CHILDREN BECAUSE
THE CHILD YOU HELP WILL NEVER FORGET YOUR GENEROCITY PLEASE YOU CAN CONTACT
AND I WILL GIVE YOU MY PERSONAL TELEPHONE NUMBER.IF YOU FEEL TOUCHED AND
WANT TO HELP A DYING MAN WITH HIS LAST WISH GET BACK TO ME ASAP BUT IF NOT
JUST REMEMBER ME IN YOUR PRAYERS GOD BLESS YOU.
I AWAIT YOUR RESPONCE TO THIS MAIL,
MARK WEST.
