Subject: LOOKING FORWARD TO HEARING FROM YOU DEAR BELOVED.
RE:KINDEST BELOVED.
Dear Beloved,
Compliments of the day to you and your family.
I know this email will come to you in an odd manner as you have not
received any prior communication from me before now.But be that as it may I
got your contact through the internet and I decided to reach you because
presently I am in desperate need of a trustworthy and honest person for this
proposal.
My name is Mr.Andy williams,I am from LONDON .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
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 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 God has
called me,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 U.A.E,Somalia and Malaysia.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 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 I have left for them.The last of my money which no one
knows of is the huge cash deposit of Thirty Million United States
dollars($30,000,000,00)that I have with a Finance Vaulting Unit Abroad.I
will want you to help me collect this deposit and dispatch it to charity
organizations.
N/B:
Kindly note that 30% of this funds must go to the tsunami victims,60%
to other Charity Organization and 10% for your effort and time.I cannot
talk with you on the phone due to my health situation,as I am using my
Lap Top Computer to communicate with you.You should respond to this
e-mail {andywilliamsfoundation@yahoo.com}
if you are interested in carrying out
this assignment on my behalf.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
God be with you.
Faithfully,
Mr.Andy williams.
