Subject: How are you today.
Dear Beloved,
I decided to seek for your help after painstking efforts in carrying out my last WISH on Earth to humanity relying on your honesty and sincerity.
My name is Williams Bright. I am a 68 years old man, a British Citizen residing in Moscow Russia. Married with two children that died along with their mother two years ago in an auto crash in Belgium.I was an oil broker/merchant and owned three big businesses in Moscow.
since the loss of my wife and only two children I have, I have come to see and realise the vanity of this world, 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 European, Asian and African countries.
Only recently I saw on television the colossal loss of innocent lives of both men, women, young and old,properties and livelihood of people caused by Tsunami dissaster that affected people in Indonesia and other Asian Countries. I was moved with great pity and compassion that I decided to make this contribution in assisting people over there before I took ill. With the recent London bombings, this world to me seems to be more vanity. I kept USD$12 Million ( Twelve Million United States Dollars) long- term deposit account in a finance company.
Presently, I am in a hospital where I have been undergoing treatment
for esophagi cancer. I have since lost my ability to talk and my
doctors have told me that I have only few months to live. It is my
last wish to see this money-distributed to victims of the Tsunami dissaster in Indonesia, other affected Asian countries and other charity organizations within the World.
Considerin the fact that relatives and friends have plundered so much of my wealth since my illness, I cannot live with the agony entrusting this huge responsibility to any of them.
Please, I kindly employ you in the name of Almighty to help me collect the deposit and the interest accrued from the company and distribute it accordingly. Use your judgment 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 may incure during the process of collecting and distributing of the money.
If you are willing to help, please reply as soon as you can. May the Almighty bless you and see you through in carrying out this my last wish on Earth.
when I get your reply, I will then link you to my Attorney who will directly be dealing with you.
Regards,
Mr, Williams Bright
