Subject: Let's help the poor.
Dear Sir,
My greetings to you and your lovely family! This mail might come to you as asurprise and the temptation to ignore it as unserious could come into your mind; but please consider it a divine wish and accept it with a deep sense of humility. My name is Martinez Morgan. I am a 54 years old man, I am Cuban currently residing in Venezuela (Venezuela). I was formerly living in Cuba and served under Castro`s government but had to run into self exile after the ruling Government of Fidel Castro closed in on my family on accusations of anti-government statements, I was once married with two children but my family also my wife and children escape to america before they where one of those vitim in world trade centre. l did made a lot of money serving Castro and on getting to Venezuela, I have been a merchant here in Venezuela dealing in Ornamentals, Oriental Carpets and Artifacts and life was very smooth for me until about three(3) years ago when I was first diagnosed of Stone kidney. Before this happened my business and concern for making money was all I lived for, I never really cared about other values in life. But since the loss of my family and hometown, I have found a new desire to assist helpless families. I have been helping orphans in orphanage/motherless homes.
I have once donated some money to orphans in war ravaged Eritrea, Somalia, Sudan and some East European Countries. Before I became ill, I kept $ 4.5 Million in a long-term deposit vault of a finance company and I now that i have lost my 2 kids and my lovely wife who was suppose to be next of kin when the money was deposited and if I died without putting some one incharge to use it for the help of those motherless and homeless as well as orphanege homes so that the money will not automatically go into the coffers of the finance company and I don`t want this to happen. I have left the hospital and presently receiving treatment in an acupuncture clinic, I have been undergoing treatment for Stone kidney at the hospital. I have since lost my ability to talk and my doctors have told me that I have only a few months to live. It is my last wish to see this money distributed to those who really needs it then allowing it to get lost in the bank or any organizations will not use it for the good work of GOD.
Because relatives and friends have 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 deposit and distribute it amongst charity organizations. Use your judgement to distribute the money and feel free to reimburse yourself when you have the money for any cost you incur during the process of collecting and distributing the money to charity organizations. I am willing to offer you a reward If you are willing to help, please reply as soon as you can on myalternate email address:( mar.morgan54@gmail.com ). Looking forward to hearing from you soonest.
Best wishes,
Martinez Morgan
