Dear Friend,
Complement of the day to you.
This letter may come to you as a surprise due to the fact
that we have not yet met.I have to say that I have no
intentions of causing you any pains. As you read this,
I don't want you to feel sorry for me, because I believe
everyone will die someday.My name is Dr.James Price,
a merchant in Dubai, in the U.A.E. I have been diagnosed
with prostate and esophageal cancer that was discovered
very late due to my laxity in caring for my health.
It has defiled all form of medicine 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 focus 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 I know my time is near, I have
willed and given most of my properties and assets to my
immediate and extended family members and as well as a few
close friends. 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, London and Ireland.
Now that my health has deteriorated so badly, I cannot do
this my self any more.
I once asked members of my family to close one of my accounts
and donate the money,which I have there to charity organization
in Bulgaria 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 is
the huge cash deposit that I have with a Bank in Europe. I,
will want you to help me collect this deposit and dispatched
it to charity organizations and let them know that it is I
Dr.James Price that is making this generous donation. I am
writing this from my laptop computer in my hospital bed where
I wait for my time to come.
Contact me via my private e-mail: jamesprice@discoverrmail.com
I pray that God uses you to support and assist me with good
heart. God be with you.
Dr.James Price
