Dear Beloved in Christ.
How are you today? hope you are fine.
Please permit me to introduce myself, I am Edward Dike
As you read this, I don't want you to feel sorry for
me, because, I believe everyone will die someday.
I was a Crude Oil merchant in Zambia, i have been
diagnosed with trauma of a spinal cord after the motor
accident I hard A year and six months
now. It has defiled all forms of medical treatment no
improvements I stay one place in the Hospital without walking, this
mail was written by one of the nurses who is in the hospital
here and hard promised to keep this secret.
I await for death any time from now may be in the next
few months,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 wouldlive 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 alms to charity organizations, as I want this to
be one of the last good deeds I do on earth. Now that my health has
deteriorated
so badly, I cannot do this myselfanymore. I once asked members of my family
to
close one of my accounts and distribute the money which I have to charity
organization, they
refused andkept 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 cash deposit with
a finance/Security Company . I will want you to help me collect this
deposit and distribute it to charity organizations.
If you feel up to it and you are honest, please contact me asap. and I
shall proceed to inform you on how you get the donation from the
security company. Pleaseget back to me through this private email
address: dikeedward@yahoo.fr
May God bless you as you do for mankind.
Yours in vineyard
Edward Dike.
