Subject: Charity Work
CHARITY WORK
Dear Friend, My name is Dr. James Tutu, a businessman in Israel. 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 few close
friends. I want God to be merciful to me and accept my soul, I have decided
to give alms to charity organizations, as I want this to be one of the last
good deeds I will do on earth. I need help from a reliable and honest person
I can trust in the name of God the merciful.
Considering my present predicament and the political situation in Israel, I
now seek your assistance to help me clear Eight million US-Dollars
(US$8,000,000.00) that I have with a recognize Security Company in Europe
and I will want you to help me collect this deposited fund and dispatched it
to charity organizations as I will instruct you to do. I do need any
telephone communication in these regards because of my health and some of my
relatives around me. I do want them to know about this new development and
with God the merciful, all things are possible.
As soon as you receive my email you should contact me, with your life and
business knowledge profile, and also the nature of charity that you have in
your Country, because I have made a vow that I will like to donate the
amount mentioned above to any charity organization, but before I do that, I
have mapped out set aside 18% for you for your time. Please send me a reply
through the below email address with your full contact information for more
private and confidential communication and note that any delay in your reply
will give me room in searching for another person for this same purpose
because you are the only person I have contacted for now. Please, inform me
that you will act according to what I have on this mail. Please reply to the
below email address
Email address: jamestutu2000@yahoo.co.uk
Yours truly,
Dr. James Tutu
