Subject: Meet my legal adviser
Hello,
You may be surprised to receive this mail, as you read this, don't feel
so sorry for me because I know everyone will die someday.
My name is Mrs. Susan Morrison, a business woman in London presently
receiving treatment at the Cancer Research UK . I have been diagnosed
with esophageal cancer which was discovered very late due to my laxity in
caring for my health. It has defiled all forms of medication right now
and I have only few hours left to live, according to medical experts. I
have never particularly lived my life so well as I never really cared
for anyone not even me but my business. Though I am very rich, but I was
never generous, I was always hostile to people and I only focus on my
business as that was the only thing I cared for in my life. 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 believed when God gives
me a second chance to come to this world I would live my life in a
different way from how I have lived now, but now that God has called me
through this way I willed most of my properties and access to my immediate
and extended family and as well as few close friends.
I want God to be merciful to me and accept my soul and so with that
reason I decided to give alms to CHARITY ORGANISATIONS, as I want this to
be one of the last good deed I did on earth, so far I have distributed
money to some Charity Organization in countries like India and Africa.
Now that my health has deteriorated so badly, I cannot do this myself
anymore.
I once asked my family members to close one of my accounts and
distribute the funds which I have there to CHARITY ORGANSATION in Rwanda 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 the funds which no one knows of, is the cash
deposit in one of the banks here.I want to know if you can be of good
help to dispatch these funds to
CHARITY organizations. I have set aside 20% of the total amount 3,372
Pounds three million three hundred and seventy-two thousand pounds only)
for you and your time and
patience for carrying out this duties.This means you will keep 20% for
yourself and donate the rest to any charity organisation. May God be
with you as you have decided to take a bold step to heal the world with
me or even in my demise. I am going in for an operation now, and i dont
think i will make it.And this hurts.
If you can give me this assistance, you can then contact my lawyer who
will assist you in getting the funds to you in my absence if i die or
not. He would give you more details. His name is Mr.Paul Jones (Snr) and
his email address is: (jasolicitors@aol.co.uk) He would guide you
through receiving the funds.
Best Regards,
Susan Morrison.
