Subject: Charity Assistant Needed
*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 here in UK,
United Arab Emirates and Ireland. Now that my health has deteriorated
sobadly, 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 Bulgaria, 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 ($16m) that I have with a
security firm abroad. 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:

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.*
