Subject: Please, Seeking For Your Kind Consent?
Dear Beloved,
Sequel to the first email that I sent to your email address which
subsequently returned as undelivered,I hereby contact you again on the same
issue.After going through your profile I decided to contact you for
friendship and assistace to hel reach to the less privilledged and other
people.I have to say that I have no intentions of causing you any Pains so
I decided to contact you through this medium. I got your Contact through a
personal search via the internet .
My name is Fred Lauer , a merchant in Dubai, in the U.A.E. I have been
diagnosed with Esophageal Cancer which was discovered very late due to my
laxity in caring for my health. This sickness has defiled all forms of
medicine,and right now I have only a few months to live according to
medical experts. I have not particularly lived my life so well,as I never
really cared for anyone not even myself but my business. Though 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 these
as I now know that there is more to life than just wanting to have or make
all the money in the world.
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 want to
obtain mercy when I die and so, I have decided to give alms to charity
organizations and give succor and comfort to the less privileged in our
society, as I want this to be one of the last good deeds I do on earth. I
have also decided that the funds can also be used for educational or
medical research to better the human race.Now that my health has
deteriorated so badly, I want to use the last of what I have to reach out
to charity organizations , the less privileged ,educational
Institutions,Scientists who are endaged in one educational or medical
activity in Bulgaria ,Pakistan,the US,Middle East,UK and other parts of the
World ,hence the need for someone whom I can trust and confide in.
The last of my money which no one knows of is the huge cash deposit of
twenty three million US dollars that I have with a Security Company in
Europe for safe keeping. I want you to help me collect this deposit and
disburse it to some charity organizations and to the less privileged or
individuals in education or research as I mentioned above. send me a mail
to indicate if you will assist me in this noble course but please search
your conscience very well because if you know you cannot give out the funds
as I want,inform me on time so that I can go my way. I have set aside 15%
for your time and patience.
I await to hear from you, may God be with you and your
entire family.
I awaits for your kind reply at ; mr.fredlauer@gmx.com
Fred Lauer
