Dear friend,
Good day. It is indeed my pleasure to write to you this letter, which I
believe will be a surprise, as we are both complete strangers. As you read
this, I don't want you to feel sorry for me, because I believe everyone will
die someday. My name is Tony Nomvete. 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 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 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 I have a
second chance to come to this world I would live my life a different way
from how I have lived it, now that it is dark for 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.
To correct my wrong past life, I have decided to give to charity
organizations, as I want this to be one of the last good deeds I do on
earth. So far, I was able to distributed money to some charity organizations
in Sudan,Algeria and Malaysia before my health failed me.Now that my health
has deteriorated so badly, I cannot do this my self 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. I do not trust them anymore, as
they seem not to be contended with what I gave to them.
The last of my money, which no one knows of, is the deposit of sixteen
million three hundred and fifty thousand dollars, that I have with a
fiduciary firm in Europe. I will want you to help me collect this deposit
and dispatch it to charity organizations and you must be sending me
information's of how it was disbursed either by email or otherwise. I have
set aside 10% for you for any expenses you might incur, your time and
patience. Please do not share my email address with anyone as I have
received some emails from some unscrupulous people claiming to be charity
organizations and other weird stories.
Pls reply me through this email for security reasons:

From a dying friend,
Anthony Nomvete
