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 oesophageal cancer. I have since
lost ability and my Doctors have told me that I have only a few months to
live.
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 Hurricane Katrina victims, motherless and
orphanage.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 ollecting and distributing the money to less priviledge once
in the world.I'm willing to offer you a reward If you arewilling to help;
please reply as soon as you can
May the good Lord bless you and your family
Regards,
Mike Adams
