Subject: Dear Friend,
Dear Friend,
My hearts go out to the communities devastated by natural disaster. As you
know, the human cost of this tragedy far outweighs its financial toll.
However, many of the survivors have lost everything. Even basic essentials
like water, food and shelter are precious gifts. That's why I choose to
reach out to Communities faced with this problem.
I don't want you to feel sorry for me, because, I believe everyone will die
someday. My name is Anup Thapa, I am a merchant in Dubai, in the U.A.E.I
have been diagnosed with Esophageal Cancer which was discovered very late,
due to my laxity in carrying for my health. It has defiled all forms of
medicine, and right now I have only about a few months to live, 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 focus 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 than 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 properties and assets to my immediate and extended family
members and as well as a few close friends. I want God to be merciful to me
and accept my soul and so, I have decided to give arms to charity
organizations and give succor and comfort to the less privileged in our
societies, 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 the U.A.E,
Algeria and Malaysia. Now that my health has deteriorated so badly, I cannot
do this my self 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 and to the less privileged 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 US$19M [Nineteen Million
United States Dollars cash deposit that I have with a finance brokers and
Security underwriters this financial company operates in funds management,
international cash, banking with a reputable correspondent bank worldwide,
bullion underwriting, security handling and general appropriation. I will
want you to assist me transfer this deposit into your bank account and
dispatched it to charity organizations and world HIV/AIDS programmers in
Ethiopia. Note that this is confidential and treat with discretion
Please send me a mail to indicate if you will assist me in this
disbursement. I am ready to welcome your price on this, while I wait to hear
from you.
Remain blessed,
Anup Thapa.
