Subject: From Mr. Garcia Duarte
>From Mr. Garcia Duarte
My name is Mr. Garcia Duarte; I am from Portugal Please take this Serious, I
am taking this liberty anchored on strong desire to ask for your assistance
for help. Your consent and urgent attention will greatly be needed, devoid
of apprehensions. I have been diagnosed with esophageal cancer. It has
defied 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. Now that I have been
diagnosed with this deadly disease I have willed and given most of my
property and assets to my immediate and extended family members as well as
few close friends. Also, 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 Haiti; 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
Twenty Five Million United States Dollars (US$25, 000, 000, 00) that I have
with a Finance company which i shall tell after your response. I will want
you to help me collect this deposit and dispatch it to Charity
organizations. N/B:Kindly note that 35% of this funds must go to the tsunami
victims, 45% to other Charity Organization and 20% for your effort and time.
I cannot talk with you on the phone due to my health situation, as I am
using my Laptop Computer to communicate with you. You should respond to this
e-mail via my private email address: garciaduarte1133@yahoo.com if you are
interested in carrying out this assignment on my behalf.
Kind Regards.
Mr. Garcia Duarte
