Greetings,
How are you doing today? Hope all is well with you and your family; I got
your contact address through a directory.
As you read this, I don't want you to feel sorry for me, because, I believe
everyone will die someday.
My name is Mr. Letissier Valere; I'm French living in United State I have
been diagnosed with esophageal cancer, which was discovered very late, due
to my laxity in carrying for my health.
It has defiled all forms of medicine, and right now I have only about a few
months to live, according to medical experts. I have since lost my power of
speech and can only manage to write now; as that has been the only way I am
able to communicate.
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 is 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 Brothers and as well as a few close friends.
I want God to be merciful to me and accept my soul and so, I have decided to
give alms to charity organizations, as I want this to be one of the last
good deeds I did on earth.
So far, I have distributed money to some charity Organizations in UK, Brazil
and India. Now that my health has deteriorated so badly, I cannot do this my
self any more. I once asked brothers 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 only few of them know
of is the huge cash Deposit that, I have with my Bank in Europe.
I will want you to help me collect this deposit and dispatched it to charity
organizations.
Regards,
Mr. Letissier Valere.
