Subject: Greetings
Dear Friend,
Greetings to you and Please permit me to introduce myself.
I am Mr.Justin Lorenzo, a Portuguese crude oil Merchant based in Sao
Tome and Principe.
I was so lucky to come in contact with your email address on the
internet,and that is why i am contacting you.I was diagnosed with esophageal
cancer which has defiled all medical solutions and according to medical
experts I only have a few more months to live. As you read this you do not
have to feel sorry for me as it is a universal truth that we all must die
someday, the only problem with mine though being that I have particularly
not lived my life well in spite of my wealth and possessions as I never
really cared for anyone (not even myself) but my business.Though I am very
rich I was never generous, I was never caring about people but only
dedicated my time and resources on my business as that was the only thing I
cared about. But now I regret all this as I now know that there is more to
life than just accumulating all the wealth in the world, as I lay helplessly
on my sick bed. If I was given a second chance to live again I sure would
live my life a different way from how I have lived it owing to what has
befallen me now.
As my last days alive are drawing closer and closer I havealready willed out
most of my properties and assets to my immediate and extended family members
as well as a few close friends.I also want my soul to be at peace with God
and for him to be merciful on me and accept my soul and to this regard I
have resolved to give my remaining funds to charity organizations as I want
this to stand as one of the last deeds I indulge in on earth before I die.
Though I have already distributed money to some charity organizations, Now
that my health has deteriorated so badly I can no longer continue with this
myself and also I do not trust my immediate family members or close friends
on this, as I have once asked them to close one of my accounts and
distribute the funds therein to charity organizations in Asia, South
America, Eastern Europe and Africa, they greedily kept the money to
themselves.
Hence I am contacting you with this as I have lost confidence in them
because it is obvious they are not contented with what I have left for them.
The last of my funds which no one knows of is a cash deposit of Fourteen
million U.S Dollars ($14,000,000,00)stashed in two trunk boxes and declared
as Personal effects of high security value which I have with a
finance/Security Company in Amsterdam-The Netherland.
All I am asking of you is to assist me in making the collection of this
deposit and dispatching the funds to any charity of your choice after
keeping 20% of the funds for yourself and your family.10% of these funds
should be to cover any expenses that might be incurred in the process of
making this claims. Please contact me as soon as you get this email if you
are capable and sincere to handle this transaction on my behalf so I can
forward you with all relevant document and details necessary for the claims
and the name of the security firm where the funds are deposited. God bless
you as I await words from you.
Please inform me as soon as possible via my email address:
justinlorenzo@sify.com or justinloren01@yahoo.ie, even if you are not
interested
so i can proceed to seek for someone else to carry out this on
My behalf.
Thanks for your anticipated co-operation.
Mr. Justin Lorenzo
