Subject: FOR THE GOSPEL
Hello Beloved,
How are you today? hope you are fine. Please permit me to introduce myself,
I am Mr.Johny smith. as you read this, I don't want you to feel sorry for
me, because, I believe everyone will die someday. I was a Crude Oil
merchant in TOGO,i have been diagnosed with Esophageal spinal cord after the
motor accident I hard A year and six months now. It has defiled all forms of
medical treatment no improvements I stay one place in the Hospital without
walking, this mail was written by one of the nurses who is in the hospital
here and hard promised to keep this secret.
I await for death any time from now may be in the next few months,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 that 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 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 in Austra,cameroun,liberia,Algeria 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
organization 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 cash deposit of seven million dollars $7,000,000,00 that i
have with a finance/Security Company .
I will want you to help me collect this deposit and distrbute it to charity
organizations.
I have set aside 10% for you and your time. If you feel up to it and you
are honest, please contact me asap.and I shall proceed on the documents
concerned you will receive this money within 3-4 working days from now.
Remain blessed
Bro.Johny smith
