Subject: DONATION OF MY $15 MILLION TO CHARITY THROUGH YOU.
DONATION OF MY $15 MILLION TO CHARITY THROUGH YOU.
Good day and God bless you. I feel quite safe and satisfy dealing with you in this charity project. Though, this medium (Internet) has been greatly abused, I choose to reach you through it because it still remains the fastest,surest and most secured medium of communication. However, this correspondence is purely private, and it should be treated as such.As you read this, I don't want you to feel sorry for me because i believe everyone will die someday.
My name is Smith Shaw, a merchant in Dubai U.A.E.I have been diagnosed with HIV/AIDS. 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 th! ing 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 i have 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 may not live longer, 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 mercy to be shown on 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.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 Indian, Sudan 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 have left for! them.The last of my money which no one knows of is the huge ca! s!h d eposit of 15 million united states dollars that I have with a finance Company abroad. I will want you to help me collect this deposit and dispatched it to charity organizations such as those that cater for the recent New orleans,Mississipi USA, Katrina Disaster, HIV AIDS research etc. I have set aside 30% for youand for your time.
God be with you.
Regards,
Smith Shaw
