Dear Friend,
This letter may come to you as a surprise due to the fact that we
have not yet met.
After searching through your country's Chamber of Commerce and
industry here in London I am contacting you to assist me, I have to
say that I have no intentions of causing you any pain as you read
this.
I don't want you to feel sorry for me, because, I believe everyone
will die someday. My name is Albany Code Jr., a merchant here in
London, presently taking medical treatment. now, I have been
diagnosed with Prostate and Esophageala cancer that was discovered
very late due to my uncaring attitude for my health. It has defiled
all form of medicine and right now, I have only about a few months to
live according to medical experts. To be frank with you, I have not
particularly lived my life so well, as I never really cared for
anyone not even myself but my business and money. Though I am
wealthy, 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. I
believe when God gives me a second chance to come to this world I
would live my life a different way from how I have lived it. Now that
I know my time is almost up, 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. 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
myanmar,Indonesia,China,and Africa at large. Now that my health has
deteriorated so badly, I cannot do this my self any more. I once
asked members of my family to close one of my accounts and donate the
money which I have there to some charity organizations in
Myanmar,Indonesia,China and Africa at large, they refused and kept
the money to themselves. Hence, I do not trust them anymore, as they
seem not to be content with what I have left for them.
The last of my money is the huge cash deposit ($16million) that I
have with a security firm. I will want you to help me collect this
deposit and dispatched it to charity organizations and let them know
that it is I, Mr. Albany Code Jr. that is making this generous
donation. I am writing this from my laptop computer in my hospital
bed where I wait for my time to come.
You can reply me through my private email address:
albanycode001@gmail.com
As soon as I receive your sincere response, I will hence give you all
the necessary details of how this can be done. I pray that you will
support and assist me with good heart so that I can be able to
achieve my goal. If you accept to help me do this, I promise you a
reward of 30% of the ($16m).
Thank you for understanding.
