Subject: CHARITY DONATION
From: Powell Morgan
Return email:pw4charity@gawab.com
I am the above named person but undergoing medical treatment now. I'm a
merchant and owned two businesses in Dubai. I'm married with two children.
My wife and two children died in a car accident four 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 families. I have been helping orphans in orphanage/motherless
homes.
Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not last for the next three months
due to cancer problem. Though what disturbs me most is my stroke. Having
known my condition I decided to donate this fund to charity or better still
an individual that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct
here in.
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
Schools in the UAE. I have decided to give alms 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 Now that my health has
deteriorated so badly, I cannot do this my self any more.
I once asked members of my family to close one of my accounts and donate the
money, which I have there to charity rganization 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 is the huge cash deposit that I have with Financial Firm Abroad
.
I will want you to help me collect this deposit and dispatched it to charity
organizations and let them know that it is I Powell Morgan that is making
this generous donation.
I am writing this from my laptop computer in my hospital bed where I wait
for my time to come. I pray that God uses you to support and assist me with
good heart God be with you.
Powell Morgan.
