Subject: My Greeting To You,
My Greeting To You,
I am a 56 years old,South African living in London- United Kingdom. I was the President/CEO of KOFORICH OIL SERVICES (UK) LIMITED - an oil servicing company in London.
I was married with two daugthers. My wife and the two children died in a car accident six years ago. Before this happened my business and concern for making money was all I was living for and I never really cared about other people.
But since the loss of my family, I have found a new desire to assist the helpless. I have been helping orphans in orphanages/motherless homes.I have donated some money to orphans in Ethiopia,Benin Republic, Cameroon, Sudan, and some Asian countries.
Before I became ill, I kept $18.2 Million in a long-term deposit account in a BANK -ABIDJAN-COTE D’IVOIRE.
Presently, I am in Estate Private Hospital here in london where I have been undergoing treatment for oesophageal cancer Unfortunately recently my doctor informed me that I was suffering from a serious illness: cancer who condemned me to death from one moment to another. But also of hypertension..It is my last wish to see this money distributed to charity organizations Ophanage (less previlages) or to an individual that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct here acording to my desire. Because i can no longer it by myself anymore due to my state of health. Because my relatives and friends has plundered so much of my wealth since my illness, I cannot live with the agony of entrusting this huge responsibility to any of them. Please, I beg you in the name of God to help me collect the $18.2 Million and the interest accrued on the deposit from the Bank and distributes it amongst charity organizations.
You are at liberty to use your discretion to distribute the money and feel free as well to reimburse yourself when you have the money for any expenses you incur in the course of collecting and distributing the money to charity organizations. I am willing to reward you for your assistance and kindness.
Wait your urgent reply via my private email ( georgehsir@yahoo.fr ) if this proposal is acceptable to you.
May the good Lord bless you and your family.
Best Regards,
Sir.George Hans.
