Subject: Lets do this for humanity
Dear
I am writing you because after some search on the net for a reliable person,
I came accross your profile and decided to contact you since I feel you are
someone who can work with me.
As you read this, I don't want you to feel sorry for me, because, I believe
everyone will die someday. My name is Andrew Williams, a merchant in U.K. 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. 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 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 my accounts and distribute
the money which I have there to charity organizations in Asia and U.K, 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
twenty five million dollars $25,000,000.00 that I have with a finance
institution in Europe. I will want you to help me collect this deposit and
dispatche it to charity organizations, and am seriously considering setting
up a cancer reseasrch centre.
I have set aside 20% for you and some expences that may incure during the
proccess of these transaction.
God be with you. Remember to keep this known to yourse lf alone and I for
now,as I am doing this as a contribution to life on earth.I will also
appreciate if you provide me with your contact mobile and home phone numbers
to my private email adwillyf@yahoo.com,so that i can forward them to a
reputable lawyer who would put you through the whole process.
I will really appreciate your quick response.
Stay Blessed,
Andrew Williams
