Subject: Hello:
Hello dear good friend,
This letter may come to you as a surprise due to the fact that we have not yet met before. I have to say that I have no intentions of putting you into any 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. Franz Stephen Jorge a business tycoon I based in London . 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 just few months to live according to medical experts. In that reason my doctor have to fly me back to my country of origin here in Africa, I regretted because I particularly did not lived my life so well, as I never really cared for anyone not even myself or my family but only my business.
Though I am very rich but I’m not 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 God gives me a second chance to come to this world I would live my life a different way. Since the announcement of the diagnosed with prostate and esophageal Cancer and the time I have to stay, 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 my African Countries and also in Indonesia . 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 South Africa and donate the money to charity organization in South Africa and 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 money, which is huge cash deposit 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 its I Mr. Franz Stephen Jorge is making this generous donation. I am writing this from my laptop computer in my hospital bed where I wait for my time to come. I pray that God 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 and how much I deposited there. I will also issue you a Letter of nomination 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 may God bless you and members of your family.
Thanks may God bless you as you quickly respond this mail.
Yours faithful friend,
Mr. Franz Stephen Jorge
