FOR THE WORK OF GOD.
I do not intend to bias your feeling as you read this mail thereby
making you feel so pathetic about my situation, because i believe that every
human being has his or her destiny to fulfil on this earth bafore passing to
the great beyond,owning to this i was compell to accept christ as my
saviour,having known the truth,I had no choice than to do what is lawful and
right in the sight of God for eternal life and in the sight of man for
witness of God?s mercy and glory upon my life.My name is Daniel Buttah a
citizen
of malta a succesful business man formally married to mrs Trisha buttah
who died two years ago after a brief illness without a child.
For over a year now i been in the hospital battling with a chronic
heart disease which has defiled all forms of medical treatment, and right
now
I have only about a few months to live, according to medical experts,this
illment has detoriated my health to this point that i have finally lost
my voice making me unable to talk any more.Although i have not
particularly lived a generous life as i never cared for anybody except for
myself
and my late wife i was always hostile to people and only focused on my
business 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 have willed and
given most of my property and assets to my immediate family members,I once
asked members of my family to close one of my accounts and distribute the
funds to a charity organization and orphanages but they instead kept the
money
to themselves for this reason i do not trust them any more as they seems
not to be contended with what i have given to them.
Now the last of my money which i deposited in cash in a consignment
form twelve million dollars($12m) with security firm abroad, Recently the
security firm wrote me to come forward to sign for the release of this
money or rather issue a letter of authorization to somebody to receive it on
my behalf as time agreed for the consignment to be in their custody has
expired,since
i do have much time to live on this earth and i want this
to be the last good deed i that i have done on this earth before passing
on,based on this reason i am pleading to you in name of God to help me
Stand and collect the Funds from the security firm which my attorney will
guide and provide you with all the neccessary informations inorder to
collect
the funds and use it for the work of God(charities,churches and orphanages)
while you keep $1.5m.for yourself for your time.
I await your quick kindest response with your name,telephone and fax
numbers so that i can have my attorney contact you directly inorder to
furnish
you with more informations on how the mission will be carried out.i wish to
assure you that there is no risk of whatsoever involved in this mission
as my attorney will provide you with all the legal documents inorder to
back up the funds.
please send your response to my email id, Thank you and remain
blessed.
yours faithfully ,
Daniel Buttah
