Subject: YOUR URGENT ASSISTANCE NEEDED
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 causing you any pains so I decided to contact you through this medium .
As you read this, I don't want you to feel sorry for me, because, I believe everyone will die someday. My name is DANIEL ALBERT, a merchant in Dubai , in the U.A.E. 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 forms of medication and right now, I have only about 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 I am very rich, I was never generous, I was always hostile to people and only focus 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 I know my time is near, 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 and Schools in the UAE. 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 the U.A.E, London and Ireland and also to the victims of tsunami. 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 and donate the money which I have there to charity organization in Bulgaria , 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 is the huge cash deposit that I have with Financial Firm Abroad (Detail of the security/finance company shall be made known to you when i receive your positive response to this mail). I will want you to help me collect this deposit and dispatched it to charity organizations and let them know that I DANIEL ALBERT that is making these generous donations.
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 I am willing to compensate you with 20% of the total sum for your assistance, in this transaction, confidentiality is very essential for us to achieve our goal. It is important that you maintain utmost sincerity and trust.
In conclusion I will like you to understand that this transaction is 100% risk free.
God be with you.
Mr. Albert Ahmed Daniel
