Subject: Go through and get back to me
Dear Friend,
I have read your profile .I strongly believe that after reading this
email,you will be in abetter position to know and carryout my sole aim
here.My name is Dickson Watson, a merchant in Dubai, in the U.A.E.I have
been diagnosed with Esophageal Cancer which was discovered very late, due
to my laxity in carrying for my health. It has defiled all forms of
medicine,and right now I have only 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 but my business.
Though 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 these 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 properties and assets to my immediate and extended family
members and as well as a few close friends. I want God to be merciful to me
and accept my soul and so, I have decided to give alms to charity
organizations and give succour and comfort to the less priviledged in our
societies, as I want this to be one of the last good deeds I do on earth.
I once asked members of my family to close one of my accounts and distribute
the proceeds.So far, I have distributed money to some charity organizations
in the U.A.E, Algeria and Malaysia. Now that my health has deteriorated so
badly, I want to use the last of what I have to reach out to charity
organizations and to the less priviledged in Bulgaria ,Pakistan,the US and
other parts of the World hence the need for someone whom I can trust and
confide in.I cannot use my brothers because twice I have tried to use them
and twice they refused and kept the money to themselves,hence I do not trust
them anymore, as they seem not to be contented with what I have left for
them.
The last of my money which no one knows of is the huge cash deposit of
twenty four million dollars that I have with a Security Company in Europe
for safe keeping. I want you to help me collect this deposit and disburse it
to some charity organizations and to the less priviledged as I mentioned
above. send me a mail to indicate if you will assist me in this noble course
but please search your conscience very well because if you know you cannot
give out the funds to charity as I want,inform me on time so that I can go
my way. I have set aside 15% for you for your time and patience.
I await to hear from you, may God be with you and your entire family.
Remain blessed.
Dickson Watson
