ATTNTION DEAR FRIEND
I sincerely hope that after you read this mail you will respond to my call.
Let me start by introducing myself .my name is Robert Scott. I'm 65 years
old, a British living in cotonou(Benin republic).
I am a business man and own two companies here in Cotonou, married with two
children. My wife and two children died. in a car accident six years ago but
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, I have found a new desire to assist helpless
families have been helping orphans in motherless home: I have donated some
money to orphans in Sudan, south africa,camerou,brazil,spain,austria,germany
and some Asian countries, before I became ill, I kept some money,ten.million
and five hundred dollars($10.5.million) to be precise in long term deposit
account in a security company in
Africa, presently I'm in a hospital, my doctor told me that I have prostate
cancer that I have a few months to live, it is my last wish to see this
money distribute to charity organizations, because so much of my wealth has
been plundered by relatives and friends since my illness, hence I cannot
live with the agony of entrusting this huge responsibility
to any of them since the money in the security company is the last fund that
I have left, right now I am partial stranded in the hospital due to the
nature of my sickness so I am appealing to you to help me collect the
deposit from the security company in Africa and distribute it amongst
charity organization would want you to use your discretion to distribute it
the
Money and keep 30% of it for yourself, feel free to reimburse yourself when
you have the money for any cost you might have incurred during the process
of collecting and distributing the money to charity organization, may the
good lord bless you and your family? Please reply to this mail blow (
robertscott0022@yahoo.ca) as I can only communicate through my laptop
Which is by my bed, as soon as I get your response I shall then give you the
necessary information's you needs to collect this consignment of money
'
With regards
MR.ROBERT SCOTT,
