Subject: A CRY FOR HELP!!!
Dear friend,
Greetings to you and your family! This mail might come to you as a
surprise and the temptation to ignore it as unserious could come into your
mind; but please consider it a divine wish and accept it with a deep
sense of humility. My name is Jose A. Martinez. I am a 64 years old man,
I am Cuban currently residing in Dubai (United Arab Emirate). I was
formerly living in Cuba and served under Castro`s government but had to
run into self exile after the ruling Government of Fidel Castro closed in
on my family on accusations of anti-government statements, I was once
married with two children but my family could not escape before the
deadly hands of Castro`s goons fell on them. l did made a lot of money
serving Castro and on getting to UAE, I have been a merchant here in Dubai
dealing in Ornamentals, Oriental Carpets and Artifacts and life was
very smooth for me until about three(3) years ago when I was first
diagnosed of Cancer of the Larynx.
Before this happened my business and concern for making money was all I
lived for, I never really cared about other values in life. But since
the loss of my family and hometown, I have found a new desire to assist
helpless families. I have been helping orphans in orphanage/motherless
homes. I have once donated some money to orphans in war ravaged
Eritrea, Somalia, Sudan and some East European Countries. Before I became
ill,
I kept $ 4.5 Million in a long-term deposit vault of a security/finance
company and I didn`t state any next of kin when the money was deposited
and if I died without stating any the money will automatically go into
the coffers of the security company and I don`t want this to happen. I
have left the hospital and presently receiving treatment in an
acupuncture clinic, I have been undergoing treatment for Oesophageal Cancer
at
the hospital. I have since lost my ability to talk and my doctors have
told me that I have only a few months to live. It is my last w!
ish to see this money distributed to charity organizations.
Because relatives and friends have plundered so much of my wealth since
my illness, I cannot live with the agony of entrusting this huge
responsibility to any of them. Please, I beg you in the name of God to help
me collect the deposit and distribute it amongst charity organizations.
Use your judgement to distribute the money and feel free to reimburse
yourself when you have the money for any cost you incur during the
process of collecting and distributing the money to charity organizations. I
am going to send you vital documents to back my claims and I am willing
to offer you a reward If you are willing to help, please reply as soon
as you can Looking forward to hearing from you soonest.
Regards,
J. A Martinez
