My Dear,
As you read this, I don't want you to feel sorry for me, because, I
believe everyone will die someday.My name is Mr. Fidel Fernando, a
merchant doing business in Asia and middle East. I have been diagnosed with
Esophageal Cancer, which was discovered very late, due to my laxity in
caring for my health. It has defiled all forms of medicine, and right now
I have only about a few months to live, according to edictal experts
in a private clinic here in London, where I am presently lying on my
sick bed waiting for death.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 focus 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
will 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 properties and assets
to my immediate and extended family members and as well as a few close
friends. I want God to be merciful to me and accept my soul and so, I
have decided to give arms to charity organizations in the U.A.E,
Algeria, Indonesia, India 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 and to the less privileged in Bulgaria
and Pakistan; they refused and kept the money to selves.Hence, I do not
trust them any more, as they seem not to be contented with what I have
left for them.
The last of my money, which no one knows about, is the huge cash
deposit of Fifty Six Million US Dollars that I have, deposited with a
security company in London for safekeeping. I will want you to help me collect
this deposit and disburse it to some charity organizations and to the
less privileged.The contact of the security company in London would be
given to you for enquiry as soon as you indicate your interest to work
with me and collect those boxes.
But do not open up the content of the consignment to them, because the
consignment was deposited with them as CONFIDENTIAL FAMILY TREASURES,
not money for your information. Also mind you that the certificate of
deposit and the necessary document which will authorized them to open up
communication are with me.Please send me a mail to indicate if you will
assist me in this disbursement.I have set aside 30% for you, for your
time and patience.may God be with you and your entire family.Please
note: I am sending you this email secretly against my doctor?s advice to
remain incommunicado with anyone, as this will deteriorate my present
condition.
Remain blessed.
Mr. Fidel Fernando
