Subject: from Mr.John Kamalu
Hello My Dear how are you today, i heop all is well with you and your family? the fact that we have not yet met. I have to say that I have no intentions of putting you into any form of stress or worries. 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.John Kamalu a business tycoon in Germany. I have been diagnosed with prostate and esophageal Cancer that was discovered very late due to my laxity in caring for my health. It has defiled all form of medicine and right now, I have only about just 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 or my family but my business. Though I am very rich, I was never caring, I was always hostile to people and only focus on my business as that was the only thing I ever 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 if almght Allah gives me a second chance to come to this world I would live my life a different way from how I have lived it. Since the announcement of the diagnosed with prostate and esophageal Cancer and the time I have to stay on earth, 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 here in Germany and also in Indonesia, and some African Countries. Now that my health has deteriorated so badly, I cannot do this my self any more. I once asked members of my family to close one of my accounts in Bulgaria and donate the money to charity organization in Bulgaria, they connived and instead 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 and others, they stole from me. The last of my money, which is the huge cash deposit that I have with a Financial Firm Abroad. I will want you to help me collect this deposit and distribute it to charity organizations around the globe and let them know that it is I Mr.John Kamalu is making this generous donation. I am writing this from my laptop computer in the hospital bed in South America now where I wait for my time to come. I pray that almght Allah uses you to support and assist me with good heart. As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the bank in estates in London. where I deposited the sn of 5.7 million dollars. and I will also issue you a Letter of Authority that will empower you as the original beneficiary of this fund. My happiness would be if my last wish is obeyed. Please always be prayerful all through and try as much as possible to learn from my lessons in your life. Also, Please assure me that you will act just as I have stated herein. Hope to hear from you soon and almght Allah bless you and members of your family. Contact me through my private e-mail address johnkamalu2@myway.com <mailto:johnkamalu2@myway.com> Allah with you. Regards, Mr.John Kamalu.
