Subject: RE:HELP
Dear Friend,
As you read this, I don't want you to feel sorry for me, because, I believe
everyone will die someday. My name is Sonnur Jaochim a merchant from Norway,
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. 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 financial assistance 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, Somalia 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 organizations 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 four
Million five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars ($4,500,000,000.00) that
I have with a finance/Security Company abroad. I will want you to help me
collect this deposit and dispatch it to charity organizations of your choice.
If you know that you are willing to assist me in this matter, let me know,
because you are going to deal with my Attorney, you can then discuss the
percentage from there. My hands, Legs and all my entire body is very weak,
so i will not always be very strong to respond to you. Though i have a Lap
top in the Hospital which i will be using to know the position of things.
Please,i want you to indicate your interest in this transaction by replying
to my alternate email which is holycooldubb@myway.com
God be with you.
Sonnur Jaochim
