Subject: Hello
Dear Friend,
My name is Daniel Mills. i'm a 65 years old man. i am british living in
Dakar ( Senegal).i'm a merchant and owned two businesses in Dakar. i'm
married with two Children.
My wife and two children died in a car accident six years ago 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,i have found a new desire to assist helpless familes.
I have been helping orphans in orphanage/motherless homes,i have donated
some money to orphans in sudan,southafrica,cameroun,brazil,spain,austria
,germany and some asian countries.
Before i became ill,i kept some money, twelve and a half million dollars
$12.5million.usd.)to be precise in a long term deposit account in a security
company in Europe.presently, i'm in a hospital.
My doctors told me i have prostrate cancer that i have a few months to
live.it is my last wish to see this money distributed to charity
organizations. because so much of my wealth has been plundered by relatives
and friends since my illness, i cannot live with the agony of entrusting
this huge responsibility to any of them since the money in the security
company is the last fund that i have left i am some how stranded in the
hospital because my firends and relative have misuse all my funds that i
left in thier posession.
Please, i beg you in the name of God to help me collect the deposit from the
security company in Europe and distribute itamongst charity organizations.
use your judgement to distribute the money and keep 5% of it to yourself.
Feel free to reimburse yourself when you have the money for any cost you
incure during the process of collecting and distributing the money to
charity organizations. may the good Lord bless you and your family.
i await your urgent response.
please reply to this mail as i can only reply through my labtop I cannot
talk very well: danielmills111@yahoo.it
sincerly,
Daniel mills.
