Dear Sir/Madam,
Email:benjamin4pierre@yahoo.com.hk
My name is Mr. Benjamin Pierre; I am from France but live in Hong
Kong with a family of three and my wife that I have lost on board the
Swissair Flight 111, which crashed into the Atlantic off Nova Scotia
in September 2nd 1998. Names are Benjamin Jesse James, Benjamin
Stacey, Benjamin Wahkyn, Benjamin Whitney Ginger (wife), which even
lead me to stroke. See links below for more detail information:

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 so,
I have decided to give alms 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, Somalia
and Malaysia.
Now that my health has deteriorated so badly, I cannot do this
myself any more. 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 four Million
United States Dollars (4, 000, 000. 00) that I have with a Finance
Vaulting Unit Abroad. I will want you to help me collect this deposit
and dispatch it to charity organizations.
N/B: Kindly note that 35% of this funds must go to the tsunami
victims, 60% to other Charity Organization and 5% 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. if you are
interested in carrying out this assignment on my behalf. Please write
me privately on my Email:benjamin4pierre@yahoo.com.hk
God be with you.
Regards,
Mr. Benjamin Pierre.
