Subject: MAY GOD BLESS YOU.
My Dear friend,
Good day to you. I got your contact through my personal research. As you
read this, I don't want you to feel sorry for me, because I believe everyone
will die someday. My name is Mrs. Mercy W. Johansson, I am a 62 year old US
Army Lieutenant Colornel (Retired), I am the President of Residential
Enterprises, Inc which is now located at (64 Edwardel Road Needham, MA
02492, I am a merchant in Dubai, I am also the owner of T.J Drillings in
Bangkok Thailand.
I have been diagnosed with Esophageal cancerthat 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 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 being a soldier, 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. 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 as sets to my immediate and extended family members and as well as a few
close friends. I want God to be merciful to meand accept my soul and so, I
have decided to give all 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, Brazil, Algeria and Malaysia. 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 distribute
the fund that I have there to charity organization in Bulgaria and Pakistan,
they refused and kept the fund 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 (
3.5 Million) Dollars, which I realized from my T.J Drilling Inc.
I have this amount with a Safety Firm in (London UK), I deposited it
purposely to execute a contract I for the Togo Government (installation of
pipe lines) Iwant you to help me in collecting this deposit of ( $ US 3.5
Million) Dollars and dispatched half to charity organizations and half for
your organization too.
Email me soon to inform me your preparedness to do this work of God. Please
always pray for me as you recieve this email.
I need your immediate reply.
God be with you.
Mrs. Mercy W. Johansson
