Subject: LET US WORK TOGETHER
Dear Friend,
As you read this, I want you to know how I have been living my life. My name is Mr. Franklyn Anthony a merchant from Denmark and age 65 with two children. I have been diagnosed by my private Doctor from Esophageal cancer . It has defiled all forms of medical treatment, 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 focused on my business as that was the only thing I cared for. But now I regret all these, 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 when God gives me a second chance to come to this world I would live my life a different way from how I have lived it.
Now that God has called me, I have willed and given most of my property and assets to my immediate and extended family members as well as a few close friends. I want God to be merciful to me and accept my soul so, 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 U.A.E, Somalia and Malaysia. Now that my health has deteriorated so badly, I cannot do this myself anymore. I once asked members of my family to close one of my accounts and distribute the money that I have there to charity organizations in Bulgaria and Pakistan; 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, is the huge cash deposit of Twenty Three Million Three Hundred Thousand United States Dollars ($23.300, 000.00USD) that I have with a Finance/Security Company abroad.
I will want you to help me collect this deposit and dispatch it to charity organizations of your choice. If you know that you are willing to assist me in this matter, let me know, because you are going to deal directly with my attorney and the Finance House, you can then discuss the percentage from there. My hands, Legs and all my entire body are very weak, so I will not always be very strong to respond to you. Though I have a Laptop in the Hospital, which I will be using to know the position of things.
Please if you are interested forward at once your cell phone number for easy communication.
Regards.
Mr. Franklyn Anthony
