Subject: Greetings to you in the name of our heavenly God.
My Beloved in christ,
Greetings to you in the name of our heavenly God.
This mail might come to you as a surprise and the temptation to ignore it as
unserious could come into your mind; but please, consider it a divine
wish and accept it with a deep sense of humility.
My name is Frank Kingsley. I'm a 65 years old man.An american living in
Britain. I was an oil merchant and i owned two oil wells in Africa Nigeria.
I was also married, with two children. My wife and my two children died in
september 11 bomb blast that happen in NY four years ago.
Before this happened my oil business and concern for
making money was all in in vain. I
never really cared about other values in life. But
since i loss my family, I have found a new desire to assist helpless
families. I have been helping orphans in orphanage/ motherless homes. I have
donated some money to orphans in Sudan, South Africa, Cameroon,
Brazil,Spain, Austria,Germany
and some Asian countries.
Before I became ill, I kept $6.5 Million in a long-term
deposit account with a finance company in Nigeria where my oil business is
located. Presently, I'm in a hospital where I have been undergoing
treatment for cancer. I have since lost
ability and my Doctors have told me that I have only a few months to live
but i know he is not God.
It is my last wish to see this money distributed to
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 accrued from the company
and distribute it amongest motherless and orphanage homes.
Use your judgement to distribute the money and feel
free to reimburse yourself when you have the money for any cost you incure
during the process of
collecting and distributing the money to less priviledge once in the world.
I'm willing to offer you a reward If you are
willing to help; please reply as soon as you can
May the good Lord bless you and your family
Regards,
Frank tel-44-7031955064
