Subject: dear beloved!!!
Dear Beloved.,
Peace of The Lord Be with You In my search for a reliable and God fearing
person and having gotten your contact through prayers and painstaking
efforts I have decided to seek your help in carrying out my last wish. My
name is Ghulam . I'm a 45 years old man and a Western Saharan.I am presently
in Republic of Western Sahara. I was a merchant and owned two businesses in
Dubai, the United Arab Emirates. I was also 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 families. I have been
helping orphans in orphanage/ motherless homes. I have also donated some
money for humanitarian needs in some Asian countries. Only recently, I saw
on television the colo ssal loss of properties and livelihood of people in
Canberra, Australia through Water flood. I was moved with great pity and
compassion that I decided to make a contribution on assisting people over
there. Before I became ill, I kept $18,000,000 Million in a long-term
deposit account in a finance company in Europe. Presently, I'm in an
hospital where I have been undergoing treatment for oesophageal cancer. I
have since lost my ability to talk and my doctors have told me that I have
only a few weeks to live. It is my last wish to see this money distributed
to needy and other 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 finance company based in Europe and distribute it acco
rdingly. 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 distributing the money.
If you are willing to help, please reply as soon as you can. Endeavor to
send me your full contact details like your name, address, telephone and fax
number so that I can refer you the security company where the funds is
lodged. PLEASE, I BEG YOU IN THE NAME OF God TO HELP ME RETRIEVE THE FUNDS
FROM THE FINANCE COMPANY. AFTER COLLECTING THE MONEY FROM THE FINANCE
COMPANY. YOU WILL NOW HELP ME TO TAKE THE MONEY TO ORHANPANGE HOMES IN
AFRICA OR ANY ORPHANANAGE HOME CLOSE TO YOU IN MY NAME. May God Bless you
and your family. Regards, Ghulam Bashiru..
