Subject: FUND FOR CHARITY /Damien Rice
Dear Damien Rice,
Greetings to you in the name of our heavenly God. This mail might come to
you as a surprise and the temptation to ignore it as unserious could come
into your mind; but please, consider it a divine wish and accept it with a
deep sense of humility. My name is Mr.Benjamin Sharon. I’m a 59 years old
man. I 'am an Isreali living in Finland. I was a merchant and owned two
businesses in Nigeria and Europe. I was also married with two children. My
wife and two children died in a car accident six years ago.
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 the
loss of my family, I have found a new desire to assist helpless families.
Before I became ill the doctors say I have cancer, I kept us$12 Million in a
long-term deposit vault in a finance company in Nigeria.
Presently, I’m in a hospital where I have been undergoing treatment
for esophageal cancer.
I have since lost my ability to talk and my doctors have told me that I have
only two months to live.It is my last wish to see this money distributed to
charity organizations. Because relatives and friends
have plundered so much of my wealth since my illness,I cannot live with the
agony of entrusting this huge responsibility to any of them as their greed
has blind them all they want is for me to die so they can have a feast of
all I have.
Please, I beg you in the name of God to help me collect the deposit and the
interest accrued from the company and distributes it amongst charity
organizations.Use your judgment to distribute the money and feel free to
reimburse yourself when you have the money for any cost you inure during the
process of collecting and distributing the money to charity organizations.
God will offer you a Reward if you are willing as everyone around me now
have all deserted me only waiting for my death so they can have a filled
day. I believe I can trust you as I don't know who to turn to as loneliness
have taken the better half of me to help; please reply as
soon as you can.May Almighty God bless you and your family.
Please mail me through this e-mail address
bsharon08@yahoo.com
Regards,
Mr.Benjamin Sharon
