Subject: Dear Beloved in Christ,
Dear Beloved in Christ,
I dont want you to feel sorry for me, because, I believe everyone will
die someday. My name is John lambo a merchant in uk, I have been diagnosed
with Esophageal 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. 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. 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 property
and assets to my immediate and extended family members as well as a few
close friends.
I want God to be merciful to me and accept my soul so, I have decided
to give also 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 uk,
Algeria 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
six million dollars $6,000,00, that I have with a finance/Security Company
abroad.
I will want you to help me collect this deposit and dispatched
it to charity organizations. I have set aside 30% for your time and service.
God be with you.
John lambo.
