Subject: TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN
Peace of The Lord Be with You
In my search for a reliable and God fearing person and having gotten your contact through prayers and painstaking efforts I have decided to seek your help in carrying out my last wish. My name is Andrew Davis. I'm a 45 years old man and a Western Saharan.I am
presently in Republic of Western Sahara. I was a merchant and owned two businesses in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates. I was also married with two children.
My wife and two children died in a car accident six 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. I have also donated some money for humanitarian needs in some Asian countries. Only
recently, I saw on television the colossal loss of properties and livelihood of people in Canberra, Australia through Water flood. I was moved with great pity and compassion that I decided to make a contribution on assisting people over there.
Before I became ill, I kept $15,000,000 Million in a long-term deposit account in a finance company in Europe. Presently, I'm in an hospital where I have been undergoing treatment for oesophageal cancer, I have since lost my ability to talk and my doctors have told me that I have only a few months to live. It is my last wish to see this money distributed to needy and other charity organizations. Because relatives and friends have plundered so much of my wealth since my illness, I cannot live with the agony of entrusting this huge
responsibility to any of them.
Please, I beg you in the name of God to help me collect the deposit and the interest accruedfrom the finance company based in Europe and distribute it accordingly,use your judgement to distribute the money and keep 10% of it to yourself.
Feel free to reimburse yourself when you have the money for any cost you incur during the process of collecting and distributing the money. If you are willing to help, please reply as soon as you can.
Endeavor to send me your full contact details like your name, address, telephone and fax number so that I can refer you the security company where the funds is
lodged.
PLEASE, I BEG YOU IN THE NAME OF GOD TO HELP ME
RETRIEVE THE FUNDS FROM THE FINANCE COMPANY. AFTER
COLLECTING THE MONEY FROM THE FINANCE COMPANY. YOU
WILL NOW HELP ME TO TAKE THE MONEY TO ORHANPANGE HOMES
IN AFRICA OR ANY ORPHANANAGE HOME CLOSE TO YOU IN MY NAME.
May God Bless you and your family.
Regards,
Mr.Andrew Davis.
