Subject: Urgent Attention.
HELP IN DISTRIBUTING FUNDS TO CHARITY ORGANISATIONS.
>From Mr. Franz Gander,
This letter may come to you as a surprise due to the fact that we have not
yet met. I have to say that I have no intentions of putting you into any
form of stress or worries. As you read this, I don't want you to feel sorry
for me, because, I believe everyone will die someday.
My name is Mr. Franz Gander, a business tycoon in South Africa. I have been
diagnosed with prostate and esophageal Cancer that was discovered very late
due to my laxity in caring for my health. It has defiled all form of
medicine and right now, I have only about just 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 or my family but my business.
Though I am very rich, I was never caring, I was always hostile to people
and only focus on my business as that was the only thing I ever 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 if 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. Since the announcement of the
diagnosed with prostate and esophageal Cancer and the time I have to stay on
earth, 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 here in South
Africa and also in Indonesia, and some African Countries. Now that my health
has deteriorated so badly, I cannot do this my self any more. I once asked
members of my family to close one of my accounts in Germany and donate the
money to charity organization in Germany, they connived and instead 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 and others, they stole from me.
The last of my money, which is the huge cash deposit that I have with a
Financial Firm in Lagos-Nigeria. I will want you to help me collect this
deposit and distribute it to charity organizations around the globe and let
them know that I Mr. Franz Gander is making this generous donation. I am
writing this from my laptop computer in my hospital bed where I wait for my
time to come. I pray that God uses you to support and assist me with good
heart.
As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the bank in
Lagos-Nigeria and how much I deposited there. I will also issue you a Letter
of Authority that will empower you as the original beneficiary of this fund.
My happiness would be if my last wish is obeyed. Please always be prayerful
all through and try as much as possible to learn from my lessons in your
life.
Also, Please assure me that you will act just as I have stated herein. Hope
to hear from you soon and God bless you and members of your family. Contact
me through my private e-mail address above. God be with you.
Regards,
Mr. Franz Gander.
