Subject: I NEED YOUR HELP.
Dear Friend.
As you read this, I don't want you to feel
sorry for me, because, I believe everyone will die someday. My name is
Stan Benson, a merchant in Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates
(U.A.E.). I have been diagnosed with Oesophageal Cancer, which was
discovered very late, due to my laxity in caring for my health. It has
defied all forms of treatments and therapy, and right now I have only
about a few months to live, according to medical experts.
I have
not lived my life particularly 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 frankly
regret all that 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 into this world, I would live my life
in 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 and as well as a few close
friends.
I want God to be merciful to me and accept my soul, and
so I have decided to give my life-long accumulated wealth to charity
organizations in order that it would give succour and comfort to the
less privileged in our societies, as I want this to be one of the last
good deeds I did on earth. So far, I have distributed money to some
charitable organizations in the U.A.E, Algeria and Malaysia. Now that
my health has deteriorated so badly, I can no longer do this myself. I
once asked members of my family to close one of my accounts and
distribute the money which I have there to charities and to the less
privileged 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
contented with what I have left for them.
The last of my money
which no one knows of is a huge cash deposit of twenty four million
dollars that I have with a Security Company in Europe for safe
keeping. I will want you to help me collect this deposit and disburse
it to some charitable organizations and to the less privileged. Please
send me a mail to indicate if you will assist me in this disbursement.
I have set aside 10% for you for your time and patience. While I wait
to hear from you, may God be with you and your entire family.
Remain blessed.
Stan Benson
