From: "MONICA SCOTTS" <monica_scotts@msn.com>

Subject: Hope!
Dear Friend,
As you read this, I don't want you to feel sorry
for me, because, I believe everyone will die someday.
I picked your email address from a random selection
since I have no choice.
My name is Mrs. Monica Scotts a merchant in
United Kingdom, from the Republic of Ireland. I was
married to late Mr. Jim Scotts with no children.
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
medical experts.
I have not particularly lived my life so well, as I
never really cared for anyone (not even myself but
my business. 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 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. Now that God has called
me, 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 and business
partners.
I want God to be merciful to me and accept my
soul so, I have decided to give also 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 South
Africa, China, and Middle East to help find the solution
and cure of most deadly deseases on earth like Aids.
Now that my health has deteriorated so badly, 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 organization in Bulgaria and Pakistan; they refused
and kept the money to themselves. 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 (4,500,000,00) Four
Million,Five Hundred Thousand Euro that Is currently
deposited in a bank here in Europe. I will want you
to help me collect my money and dispatch it to
charity organizations.I shall be willing to let you have 15% of
the entire sum as your remuneration.
Endeavor to contact my Solicitors if you are willing
to help with your full NAME and ADDRESS also with
DIRECT TELEPHONE and FAX NUMBERS to enable you
discuss how to receive the funds.
