Dear Friend,
As you read this, I don't want you to feel sorry for me because I believe
everyone will die someday. My name is Dommnic Eze. I am a merchant in
Safat(Kuwait). I was married with two children though I lost my family in a
car accident six years ago. I have been diagnosed with Esophageal cancer. It
has defiled all forms of medical treatment and right now I have only about a
few months to live according to the
medical experts.
I have not particularly lived my life so well as I never really cared for
anyone (not even myself) but my business. Even though I am rich, I was never
generous. I was always hostile to people and only focused on my business as
that was the only thing I
cared for. But now, I regret all these as I now know that there is more to
life than just wanting to have or make all the money in the world.
I believe that if I am given a second chance to come to this world, I would
live my life a different way from how I have lived it. Now that I have no
more hope to live, I have willed and given most of my property and assets to
my immediate and extended family members as well as a few close friends. I
need mercy and I beg you to pray for my soul.
I have decided to give arms to charity organizations as I want this to be
one of the
last good deeds I do on earth. So far, I have distributed money to some
charity organizations in the U.A.E, Algeria and Malaysia. Now that my health
has
deteriorated so badly, I cannot do this myself anymore. I once asked members
of my family to close one of my accounts and distribute the money which I
have there to charity organizations in Bulgaria and Pakistan but they
refused and kept the money to
themselves maybe because they know I can do nothing.
Hence, I do not trust them anymore as they seem not to be contended with
what I have left for them. The last of my money which no one knows of is the
huge cash deposit of Ten Million Seven Hundred Thousand American dollars
(U.S.$10.700,000) which I have with a finance company in Cotonou - Benin
Republic located in the West Africa. I will like you to help me claim this
fund and
dispatch it to charity organizations especially in Africa. I have set aside
20% for your assistance and at least to cover the expenses you might incure
in the cost of claiming it from the finance company.
Your urgent response is needed to disclose the contact of the finance
company to you as I don't know when my time will be up. Respond to my
private email written below <dommniceze1@yayoo.com>.
Regards,
Dommnic Eze
