Subject: With Compliment
Dear friend,
my names are daniel mills. i'm a 65 years old man. i am british living in
dubai ( united arab emirate). i'm a merchant and owned two businesses in
dubai. i'm 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 familes. i
have been helping orphans in orphanage/ motherless homes. i have donated
some money to orphans in sudan, south africa, cameroun, brazil, spain,
austria, germany and some asian countries. before i became ill, i kept some
money, twelve and a half million dollars $12.5million) to be precise in a
long term deposit account in a security company in europe. presently, i'm in
a hospital.
My doctors told me i have prostrate cancer that i have a few months to
live.it is my last wish to see this money distributed to
charityorganizations. because so much of my wealth has been plundered by
relatives and friends 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 from
the security company in europe and distribute it amongst charity
organizations. 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 ditributing the money to
charity organizations. may the good Lord bless you and your family.
I await your urgent response.
sincerely,
daniel mills
