Subject: GOD BLESS YOU
From: Lady Stella Kojo #17 kojo Street, AccraGhana. Dearest Beloved one, Based on your profile, I am happy to request for your assistance because I believe that you are not going to betray the trust which I am going to lay on you. My name is Lady Stella Kojo, I am from Ghana. 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 don't want you to feel sorry for me, because, I believe everyone will die someday. I have not mainly 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 I am about to die, 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 Africa, U.A.E, and some of the European countries. 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 etc; 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 Eighteen Million United States Dollars ($18, 000, 000, 00) that I have with a Finance Vaulting Unit here in Accra-Ghana. I will want you to help me collect this deposit and dispatch it to charity organizations. N/B: Kindly note that 75% of this fund must go to the tsunami victims and to other Charity Organization and 20% for your effort and time while 5% will be for the expense you incurred during this assignment. Due to my Doctors advice on my health condition I cannot talk with you on the phone, 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: stellakojo@tlen.pl God be with you and your family. Kind regards,Lady Stella Kojo
