Subject: warm greetings from lars jerry !!!!
Dear partner
This letter may come to you as a surprise due to the fact that we have not
met personally. My name is Lars Jerry, a business merchant in Indonesia. I
was a victim of the TSUNAMI disaster that led over 174,000people death in
Indonesia's Aceh province.
Well, I lost all my family members and was seriously injured as a
result of this catastrophe and currently hospitalised in Dubai, U.A.E.
My illness has defiled all form of medical treatment and I only have
about a few months to live according to medical report. I have not
particularlylived my life so well, as I never really cared for anyone
not even myself but my business.
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 this
world. Now that I know my time is near, I want to will and give most of my
properties andassets to you to enhance the relief of other Asian Tsunami
Victims and othercharity aid.
I have decided to give alms for charity aid, as I want
this to be one of the last good deeds I do on earth. But i am afraid
most of these charity organisations will use it for their personal
interests without someone to co-ordinate this task.
Hence, i am seeking a trust-worthy person who is able to help me carry out
this great task. Now that my health has deteriorated so badly, I cannot do
this my self any more. I lost alot of money, assests, properties,etc due to
this disaster. Meanwhile, i still have
$9,500,000.00 USD (Nine million five hundred U. S. dollars only) cash
deposit that I have with a Financial Firm Abroad. I will want you to help me
collect this deposit and dispatched it for humanitarian aid. Also, you will
let them know that it is I Lars Jerry that is making this generous donations
to them
to serve as memorial while I was on earth.
I am writing this from my laptop computer in my hospital bed where I wait
for my time to come. I pray that God uses you to support and
assist me with good heart.Also, these are the necessary criteria you have to
meet before I will give you the full authority over the fund:
(a). My conviction of your transparent, honesty and diligence and you will
treat this transaction as I have instructed you to do.
(b). Upon the receipt of the funds, you will promptly release
$3,000,000.00 USD to charity aid to help the needy, $5,000,000 USD will be
used for investment and you will ONLY take the balance $1,500,000.00 USD for
your noble assistance.
(c). You must be ready to produce me with enough information about yourself
to put my mind at rest, by providing your full beneficiary name, your
contact address, telephone and fax numbers for further communication.
(d) All necessary legal documentations must be undertaken before youcan have
the full right over this fund and other properties which i
willgive to you in due course.(e) Also, you will be entitle to 20% of the
annual income of any investment you wish to go into in rder to enhance
further charitable work. I would suggest that you can invest this money into
stocks, properties, bonds,etc. or any lucrative business you may suggest.
