Subject: Dear Friend
Hello Friend,
My name is Mrs. Nina Mayers. I am a dying woman who has decided to donate
what I have to charity through you.You may be wondering why I chose you. But
someone has to be chosen.I am 59 years old and was diagnosed for cancer
about 2 years ago,years after the death of my husband who had left me
everything he worked for.I have decided to donate from what I have inherited
from my late husband to charity through you for the good work of
humanity,rather than allow my relatives to use my husbands hard earned funds
inappropriately.I am presently in London waiting for an operation and
praying that I survive. I have decided to WILL/Donate the sum of US$10.5
Million (Ten Million, Five hundred thousand united state dollars) of my
husband investment in to charity through you for the good work of humanity,
and to help the motherless,less privileged and also for the assistance of
the widows. At the moment I cannot take any telephone calls, due to the fact
that I have been restricted by my do ctor from taking telephone calls
because I deserve all the rest I can get before the operation.Presently,I
have informed my lawyer about my decision in WILLING this fund to charity
through you. I wish you all the best of luck, and please use the funds well
as I want it to be a seed i have sown and always extend the good work to
others.If you are interested in carrying out this task,i will inform my
Family Lawyer so that he can arrange the release of the funds to you. You
may wonder, why don't i call the the many charity group and donate the fund
to them, that is the more reason i have contacted you, there is a little
logistic work to be done,and it involves direct dealing with the bank and
providing the necessary logistics for the transfer of the fund before the
final donation, for this reason and owning to the fact that my health is bad
to carry out all this i have decided to contact you, in reward, you shall
take 20% of the fund while the rest will be donated to various charities.
NB: I will appreciate your utmost confidentiality in this matter until the
task is accomplished,as I don't want anything that will Jeopardize my last
wish, due to the fact that I do not want relatives or family members
standing in the way of my last wish. If you are wiling to help in this
course kindly reply to this email to enable my lawyer contact you.
Some personal questions?
Are you married?
How old are you?
Your Phone Number/Fax?
What kind of work / business do you do?
Love,
Nina Mayers.
