Subject: Greetings Hi
Calvary greetings in the name of God,
I am Mr. Fred John , I am 45years old; a native of Dubai. My late father was
killed by his business associate in 2001,and during the period i married we
had a son which both of them was also killed in a cold blood a year later, I
am now afriad of showing myself out to them (Business Associate Including
members of my Family) as all are wanting to deny or kill me too, All because
after the death of my father, I inherited all his business and wealth.
Currently, I am suffering from long time cancer of the brian. From all
indications,my condition is really deteriorating and is quite obvious that I
may not live more than six months, because the cancer stage has gotten to a
very Severe stage.
Infact, my personal physician told me that I may not live for more than six
months and I am so scared about this. So, I now decided to divide part of
this wealth,by contributing to the well beign of less privileged people and
handicapped in the society of Asian,which is in my place, America Europe and
African Countries. This mission, which will no doubt be tasking had made me
to recently relocate from my family house to new place where I live
presently due to the preassure my family members are giving me as they want
to share the fund within themself's which i don't want. I selected you for
this Purpose and prayed over it,
I am willing to donate the sum of $8,300,000.00 Million US Dollars to you
for the development of the well beign of handicapped in the society and also
as aids for the less privileged around your country,and i have mapped out
$1,300,000.00 for your own personal use to help me for this work. Please
note that, this fund is currently lying in a Security Company in Europe and,
therefore my ATTORNEY will file an immediate application for the transfer of
the money in your name or your home.
Please,do not reply me if you have the intention of using this fund for
personal use,than enhancement of the comfort of the Handicapped.Lastly, I
want you/your home to be praying for me as regards my entire life and my
health because I have come to find out since my spiritual rebirth lately
that wealth acquisition without God in one's life is vanity upon vanity. My
Lawyer can also send the fund by check them you will cash it for progress of
the handicapped in the society
Best Regards,
Mr. Fred John
