Subject: Message From Mr Peter Walter.....
As you read this, I don't want you to feel sorry for me, because, I
believe everyone will die someday.
My name is Peter Walter, 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 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 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 arms to charity organizations and give succour and confort to the
less priviledged in our societies, 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, Algeria and Malaysia. Now that my healthhas deteriorated so badly, I
cannot do this my self 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 and to the less priviledged 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
fourteen million dollars($14m) that I have with a Security Company in
Europe for safe keeping. I will want you to help me collect this deposit
and disburse it to some charity organizations and to the less priviledged.
N/B:Kindly note that 40% of this funds must go to victims of Tsunami,
Hurricane Katrina , Hurricane Wilma and South Asia Earthquake ,35% to other
Charity Organizations around the World and 25% for your effort and time.
I cannot talk with you on the phone due to my health situation, as I am
using my Lap Top Computer to communicate with you. You should respond to
this e-mail if you are interested in carrying out this assignment on my
behalf.
Please send me a mail to indicate if you will assist me in this
disbursement.
I await to hear from you, may God be with you and your entire family.
Remain blessed,
Peter Walter.
