Dear=A0=A0Friend,

As you read this, I don't want you to feel sorry for me, because, I believe=
everyone will die someday.
My name is Savimbi Tete, a merchant and a Cocoa Exporter, in Lome Togo West=
Africa. I have been diagnosed with Esophageal cancer .It has defiled all f=
orms of medical treatment, and right now I have only about a few months to =
live, according to medical experts.
=A0
I have not particularly lived my life so well, as I never really cared for =
anyone(not even myself)but my business. Though I am 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 kn=
ow that there is more to life than just wanting to have or make all the mon=
ey in the world.
=A0
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.
=A0
I have decided to give arms 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 the U.A.E, India and Malaysia. Now that my=
health has deteriorated so badly, I cannot do this myself anymore.
=A0
I once asked members of my family to close one of my accounts and distribut=
e the money which I have there to charity organization in Bulgaria and Indi=
a, they refused and kept the money to themselves.=20
Hence, I do not trust them anymore, as they seem not nto be contended with =
what I have left for them.
The last of my money which no one knows of is the huge cash deposit of=A0Te=
n million Five Hundred Thousand dollars only=A0($10,500,000,00usd,). that I=
have with a finance Company abroad. I will want you to help me collect thi=
s deposit and dispatched it to charity organizations.

through this email address (tete300300@hotmail.com) only=A0with your=A0 fu=
