Subject: Dear barry
Dear barry,
As you read this, I do not want you to feel sorry for me, because I believe
everyone will die someday.
My name is Chris Adamu a merchant in London, United Kingdom. I have been
diagnosed with esophageal cancer and have been in the hospital for a very
long time. It has defied all forms of medical treatment, and right now I
have about few months to live, according to the medical
experts. I have not particularly lived my life so well, as I never really
cared for anyone (not even myself) but my business and wealth.
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 till date. Now that God is calling me, I have
willed and shared most of my properties and assets to my immediate and
extended family members, including 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 before Gods call.
So far, I have distributed money to some charity organizations in the U.K,
Algeria and Malaysia. Now that my health has been deteriorated so badly, I
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 eighteen million dollars united states dollars ($18.000.000)
that I have with a finance firm in South Africa. I would want you to help me
collect this deposit on my behalf and distribute it to charity organizations
in your country.
I would want you to keep 10% of the funds to yourself and share the rest to
charity organizations in your country. Reply this email as soon as possible
at chris_adamu57@hotmail.com even if you are not capable to handle this
transaction on my behalf. My regards and Love to you and your family
members. please also forward to me your tel/fax nos.
God be with you,
Chris Adamu
N/B: I will love to send you my pictures when I see seriousness in you, and
aswell love to view yours.
