Subject: I need your help please
Dear beloved one,
As you read this, I don't want you to feel sorry for
me, because, I believe everyone will die someday.I am
a merchant in U.K.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 was 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 the Lord 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 the Lord 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 the Lord 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 U.A.E, 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 organizations in Asia and U.K, 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
twelve million dollars that I have with a finance
institution in Europe. I will want you to help me collect this
deposit and dispatche it to charity organizations.
I have set aside 20% for you after you complete this
mission.
May the Lord be with you.Please reach me through my
personal email address of:
ahelpinghand116@yahoo.gr
Please remember to keep this known to yourself and I
alone for now,as I am doing this as a contribution to
life on earth.I will also appreciate if you
provide me with your contact mobile and home phone
numbers,so that i can make arrangements to call you
and give you more information regarding this transaction.
I will really
appreciate your quick response.
Bless you.
