Subject: THE WILL OF GOD / YOUR IMMEDIATE RESPONSE
Dear Beloved in Christ,
Greetings to you in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. I hope this mail meets you in good state of heart. Beloved, I am sorry to disturb you with my e-mail. My name is Charles Thompson, A Bahrain national; I have been 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. Before now, I have not particularly lived my life so well, as I never really cared for anyone (not even myself) but my business. 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. But above all, I give God the glory through the only spirit who has touched my heart to dedicate the fund for the work of God and humanity.
So far, I have distributed money to some charity organizations in the U.A.E, Somalia and Malaysia. Now that my health has 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 Twenty Eight Million dollars ($28, 000, 000, 00) that I have with a finance House abroad. I will like you to help me collect this deposit and dispatch it to charity organizations.
Note: Kindly note that 20% of this funds must go to the tsunami victims and another and 10% for your effort and time. More so, 65% will go for setting up of charity organization for the Orphans and homeless and also profit oriented driven investment to enable you contimue to fund the charity organization from time to time so as to keep the charity works alive while, the remaining 5% will be used pay you all expenses you might incure and contributed in the process of concluding this transaction.
I will await your immediate response as soon as you can. Until I hear you, have a lovely day. Regards. Note: your reply should be sent to my private email address: charlesthompson10000@yahoo.com.hk
Charles Thompson.
