Subject: HOW ARE YOU MY DEAR
Dear Friend,
By way of introduction, I am Mr.Raj Pinn, I am 55
years old,a native of Bangkok in Thailand, Please find a place in your heart
to read this mail coming from a mail thathas justfew days to die.
I got your information while browsing the internet in search
of a reliable person who will assist me.I am aware that emails
like this will always come your way but I have no other alternative
than trusting in God that you will get this mail trust me and
assist me
My late father was killed by his business associate
in 2001,and during the period I married we had a son which both
of them were also killed in cold blood a year later,I'm now
afraid of showing myself out to them (Business associates
including members of my family) as all are trying to deny and
kill me too,using the powerful Thailand mafia
This is because after the death of my father,
I inherited all his business and wealth.
Presently, I am suffering from long time cancer of the brain.
From all indications, my condition is really deteriorating
and is quite obvious that I may not live more than one month,
because the cancer stage has gotten to a very Severe stage.
Infact, my personal physician told me that I may not live for
more than two months and I am not scared about this.
So, I now decided to divide part ofthis wealth,
by contributing to the well beign of less privileged
The fear of these people made me to relocate to Europe but as you
are reading this I had made up my mind to go back to my country
after I have made sure that you are in control of this fund
I am doing this due to the pressure my family members are giving me
as they want to share the fund within themselves which i don't want.
I choosed you for this Purpose and prayed over it. At
first, i did not know how to put up this request for asistance
because I have been recieving emails from Africa soliciting my
help in accomodating huge sums of dollars for them. I recive an average of 5 letters everyday. I suspect them to be scam from Africa.
I feel I can trust you and I am willing to donate the sum of $10,300,000.00 Million US Dollars to you for the development of the well being of handicapped in the society and also as aids for the lessprivileged around your country,and I have mapped out $1,300,000.00 for your own personal use to help me for this work.
Please note that, once I am convinced of your good intention I will
send to you a copy of my international passport and tell you how to
verify it that i am who i claim to be
My Attorney will file an immediate application for the
transfer of the money in your name. Please,do not reply me
if you have the intention of using this fund for personal use,
than enhancement of the comfort of the handicapped.
Lastly, I want you/your home to be praying for me as
regards my entire life and my health because I have come to
find out since my spiritual birth lately that wealth acquisition
with out God, one's life is vanity upon vanity.
I await your urgent reply.
Remain blessed!
Raj Pinni
