Subject: A CALL TO WORK FOR CHARITY.
Dear friend,
As you read this, I do not want you to feel over-sorry for me, because I
believe is natural that everyone will die someday, we only pray that we
spend our eternity in heaven and not hell my name is Andrew Kim a Merchant
in Dublin Ireland. I have been diagnosed with esophageal Cancer and have
been in the hospital for a very long time. It has defied all Forms of
medical treatment, and right now I have about 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 and wealth. Though I am very 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 this
as I now know that there is more to life than just wanting to have or make
all the money in the world. I lost my family due to my negligent on them. I
believe when God gives me a second chance to come to this world I would live
my life a different way from how I have lived it till date.
Now that this sickness is making me almost lifeless, I have willed and
shared most of my properties but still I have no peace in my heart. I want
God to be merciful to me and accept my soul, so I have decided to give alms
to charity organizations, as I want this to be one of the last good deeds I
do on earth before Gods call. So far, I have distributed Money to some
charity organizations that I could reach. Now that my health has been
deteriorated so badly, I cannot do this myself anymore.
I once asked a close person of mine to close one of my accounts and
distribute the money which I have there to charity organization in; he
refused and kept the money to himself saying that I was bad when I was
normal. Hence, I do not trust them anymore, as they are not following up my
instructions to handle the money the way I wanted he goes against my will
and i have vow not to have any dealing with such person again. The Last of
my money which no one knows of is the huge cash deposit of nine Million
United States dollars ($9,000.000) that I have with a finance and trust
firm in Europe. I would want you to help me collect this deposit on my
behalf and distribute otherwise set up charity organizations in your country
but under my name [ANDREW KIM CHARITY].
I would want you to keep 10% of the funds to yourself and use the rest on
the charity organizations in your country. Reply this email as soon as
possible even if you are not capable to handle this transaction on my
behalf. My regards and Love to you, and i want you to equally love others
because now I have realized that the only way to salvation is by showing
kindness love and care to humanity and it is my believe that those that will
benefit from this my project will do pray for me and I might survive this
ailment.
I wait your quick reply,
Thanks,
Andrew Kim.
