Subject: GET BACK TO ME MY DEAR.
My Dear,
I must commend you so much after going through your profil I made up
my mind that it is somebody like you that I can trust this my charity
desire with. I know very well that you are a busy person because of you position but I wish you can add this to your line of duty or supervise it.
But before I go further Let me start by introducing myself to you,
My name is Mrs. Katrin Matthew I am a dying woman of 49 years old , I
was married with two children.
But my husband and my two children died in an auto-crash in the middle
of last year(2005) on their way to come and welcome me from the air
port, And am writing you from my hospital bed after being diagnosed
with Oesophageal 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 since the death of my husband) for I have
worked to the growth of the legacy my late husband left behind .
Though I am very rich, I was
never generous, I was always hostile to people and only focused on my
clients and customers.
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 pray that if God can allow and give me a second chance, I would live
my life a different way from how I have lived it.
Now that strenght is going down on 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 to charity organizations, less privilege and also for the
assistance of the widows 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 Algeria
,Malaysia and Niger. Now that my health has
deteriorated so badly, I cannot do this myself anymore. Jusy recently,
I once asked some member of my family to close one of my accounts and
distribute the money which I have there to charity organization in USA
and South Asia,
suprisenly there diverted it for their selfish use, Hence, I do not
trust them anymore, as they seem not to be contented with what I have
left for them.
So with that act from my trusted once I decided to search off-shore
for a computent assistance to carry out this last project from me,So
through my laptop I decided to search for a self contempted and
reliable person , and that is how I got your your contact because of
your out-standing qualities in you.
The last of my money which no one knows of, is the huge cash deposit
of Twenty one million United States Dollas (
$21.000. 000.00) that I have with a finance outfit Company in Europe,
And I will want you to help me collect this deposit and dispatched it
to some needy regions and organisations which I will inform you
depending on your response to this mail.
Please if you can do this please indicate by sending to me your full
contact details and your companies letter headed sheet to enable me
prepare a comprehensive agreement note to be sighned by Me, You and my
Remittance officer in charge of my fund.
You can write back to me on this mail address or
matt_katrinmrs@yahoo.ca , I cant riceive your phone call now at the
hospital for some security reasons atteched to my health, Remember
also details of the bank in which the money will be paid into, to
enable me seek for the immediate release of the money into your
account through my corespnedent abroad.
Please give this immediate attention and reply for soon I will be
flown to Germany for an operation,
My dear I know that this will cost us money that is why I contacted
you for I have small or nothing left with me for after I have paid so much
for my operation in Germany but any expensis you incure on the course
of the fund transfer to your account I have already made the provisions
for it to be paid back to you from the miscellaneous expenses which I
detailes bellow for you to go through.
Thanks and may the Good God Bless You ? AMEN.
Mrs. Katrin Matthew.
NB: I will appreciate your total confidentiality in this matter until
the task is accomplished as I don't want anything that will jeopardize
my last wish. And Also I will be contacting with you by email as I
don't want my relation or anybody to know because they are always
against charity and my life also .
You will set aside 25% for you and for your time and also 5% as
miscellaneous expenses.Please take it like that for God will overflow
your cup,
