FOR THE WORK OF GOD.
I do not intend to biased your feeling as you read this mail thereby making
you feel so pathetic about my situation, because i believe that every human
being has his or her destiny to fulfil on this earth bafore passing to the
great beyond,owning to this i was compell to accept christ as my saviour,
having known the truth,I had no choice than to do what is lawful and right
in the sight of God for eternal life and in the sight of man for witness of
God?s mercy and glory upon my life.
My name is Peter Buttah a citizen of malta a succesful business man formally
married to mrs Trisha buttah who died two years ago after a brief illness
without a child. For over a year now i been in the hospital battling with a
chronic heart disease which has defiled all forms of medical treatment, and
right now I have only about a few months to live, according to medical
experts,this illment has detoriated my health to this point that i have
finally lost my voice making me unable to talk any more.Although i have not
particularly lived a generous life as i never cared for anybody except for
myself and my late wife i was always hostile to people and only focused on
my business 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.for what
shall it profit a man to gain the whole world and loose his soul, or what a
man give in exchange of his life?(NOTHING).
therefore, I have willed and given most of my property and assets to my
immediate family members,I once asked members of my family to close one of
my accounts and distribute the funds to a charity organization and
orphanages but they instead kept the money to themselves for this reason i
do not trust them any more as they seems not to be contended with what i
have given to them. Now the last of my money which i deposited in cash in a
consignment form Twelve million dollars($12m) with security firm abroad,
Recently the security firm wrote me to come forward to sign for the release
of this money or rather issue a letter of authorization to somebody to
receive it on my behalf as time agreed for the consignment to be in their
custody has expired,since i do have much time to live on this earth and i
want this to be the last good deed i that i have done on this earth before
passing on,based on this reason i am pleading to you in name of God to help
me Stand and collect the Funds from the security firm which my attorney will
guide and provide you with all the neccessary informations inorder to
collect the funds and use it for the work of God(charities,churches and
orphanages) while you keep $1.2m.for yourself for your time.
I await your quick kindest response with your name,telephone and fax numbers
so that i can have my attorney contact you directly inorder to furnish you
with more informations on how the mission will be carried out.
i wish to assure you that there is no risk of whatsoever involved in this
mission as my attorney will provide you with all the legal documents inorder
to back up the funds.
please send your response to my email id below.
thank you and remain blessed.
yours faithfully
PETER BUTTAH.
