Subject: Dear Friend,
Dear Friend,
As you read this, I don't want you to feel sorry forme, because, I believe
everyone will die someday.
My name is John a merchant in Dubai, in the U.A.E. I worked with Kuwait oil
Company and eight years as acontractor. I have been diagnosed with
Esophageal cancer.It has defiled allforms of medical treatment, and right
now I have only about a few months to live,according to medical experts.
I have not particularly lived my life so well, as Iever really cared for
anyone (not even myself) but my business. Though I was very rich, 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 tothis world Iwould live
my life a different way from how I have lived it. Now that God has called
me, I have willed and given most of my property and assets to my immediate
and extended family members as well as a few close friends.so, I have
decided to give almso to charity organizations, as I want this to be one of
thelast good deeds I do on earth. So far, I have distributed money to some
charity organizations in theU.A.E,Algeria and Malaysia.
Now that my health has deteriorated so badly, I cannot do this myself
anymore. I once asked members of my family to close one of my accounts and
distribute the money, which I have there to charity organization in Bulgaria
and Pakistan; they refused and kept the money to themselves.Hence, I do not
trust them anymore,as they seem not to be contended with what I have left
for them.
The only person I would have trusted to do this with is my lawyer but he is
a very busy man as he is occupied with other official tasks, thus he would
not have the time to assist me with this mission as I want to see this done
before my death.
The last of my money which no one knows of is the huge cash deposit of
eighteen million dollars$18,000,000,00 that I have with afinance/Security
Company abroad. I will want you to help me collect this deposit and dispatch
it to charity organizations.
I dont want a situation where this money will beused in an ungodly manner.
Hence the reasons for taking this bold decision. I am not afraid of death
hence I know where I am going. I know that I am going to be inthe bosom of
the Lord. Exodus 14 VS 14 says that the lord will fight my case and I shall
hold my peace. I shall give you more details once you reply this mail;
I have set aside 20% for you and for your time .God be with you.
I want you to please reply me through my private email:
The Lord is my Strength
Regards
Mr, John Ben
