Subject: +URGENT REPLY FROM PORTUGAL+
Kindest Attention:
My name is Mr. Thomas James, I am from Portugal .I
have been diagnosed with Esophageal 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
sowell, as I never really cared for anyone (not even
myself)but mybusiness. 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.
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 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. So far, I have Distributed
money to some charity organizations in theU.A.E,
Somalia and Malaysia. Now that my health has
deteriorated so badly, I cannot do this myself
any more. 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 any more, 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
hugecash deposit of Ten Million United States
Dollars($10,000,000,00) that I have with an Asset
Management Company Abroad. I will want you to
help mecollect this deposit and dispatch it to charity
organizations.
N/B:Kindly note that 35% of this funds must go to the
tsunami victims,60% to other Charity Organization and
5% for your effort and time.
I cannot talk with you on the phone due to my health
situation, as I am using my Lap Top Computer to
communicate with you. You should respond
to thise-mail if you are interested in carrying out this
assignment on my behalf.
Urgent Reply Needed.

Mr. Thomas James
