Greetings to you in the name of almighty God.Please sir as you read
this letter, I don't want you to feel sorry for me, because, I believe
everyone
will die someday. My name is MRS MARY K. PAULSON a merchant in
Belgium,I have been diagnosed with 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. The doctor says that 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 this 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,
Algeria
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,which I have there to charity organization 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
which
no one knows of is the huge cash deposit of US$18,500,000,00( Eighteen
Million, Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) that I have deposited
in a
sundry account of an European Bank.I will want you to help me collect this
deposit together with my attorney and dispatch it to charity organizations.I
have set aside 20% for you and for your time. God be with you. Please
follow the instruction of my attorney JOSEPH BINGLEY, a French British legal
practitioner to guide you through collection of the funds from the Finance
Company. His direct email address is as follows:
bingley_bingleyassociates@yahoo.co.uk
I await your urgent response as I count on your fruitful assistance.
Regards,
MRS MARY K. PAULSON
