Subject: waiting to hear from you
Dear Blessed One,
Greetings to you blessed one!. As you read through my message, I do not want
you to feel pity or sorry for me, for I believe someday, somehow, we will
all surely die, this is about mine, and a last wish.
My name is mary cole, a Citizen of the united kingdom, I am a 53 years old
woman, I am diagnosed of Cancer of the Larynx and it is terminal, medical
science can not do anything for me at this stage. I believe in miracles
because I believe in GOD, however I prefer to pass on at this stage since I
am bed ridden and in constant pain.
Before this happened my business and concern for making money was all I
lived for, I never really cared about other values in life. But since my
present situation, I have found a new desire to assist helpless families. I
have been helping orphans in orphanage/motherless homes. I have once donated
some money to orphans in war ravaged Eritrea, Somalia, Sudan and some East
European Countries.
Having known my condition I decided to entrust my last funds I have
deposited in Europe( USD 15.7 mILLION) to either a philanthropic or devoted
individual that will use his judgement to distribute the money to charity
organizations and feel free to reimburse yourself when you have the money,
for any cost you incur during the process of collecting and distributing the
money to charity organizations. I have left the hospital and presently at
home, I have since lost my ability to talk and my doctors have told me that
I have only few months to live.
It is my last wish to see this money distributed to charity organizations,
because I don't have any child and my relatives and friends has plundered so
much of my wealth since my illness, I cannot live with the agony of
entrusting this huge responsibility to any of them. Please, I beg you in the
name of God to help me collect the deposit and distribute it amongst charity
organizations. Since my health is retrogressing by the minute, you will have
to send your; POSTAL ADDRESS, CONTACT PHONE NUMBER AND FAX and a little
details about yourself, because I got your address from the Internet after a
thorough search.
With the information, I will make arrangement to prepare the authorization
through an Attorney for you to get possession of the Deposit. I will give
you the name and contact of the Deposit company where the money is lodged in
Europe thereafter, so you can claim the funds. Until I hear from you, I pray
that this letter bring you and your family good tidings. Please reply as
soon possible
Looking forward to hearing from you soonest.
Regards,
mary cole.
