Subject: CAN I LAY MY TRUST ON YOU?
Dear, This letter may come
to you as a surprise due to the fact that we have not yet met. After searching
through your country's Chamber of Commerce and industry here in London I am
contacting you to assist me, I have to say that I have no intentions of causing
you any pains as you read this. I don't want you to feel sorry for me, because,
I believe everyone will die someday. My name is Prof.Richard Doll, a professor
of chemistry here in London, presently taking medical treatment. I have been diagnosed
with Prostate and Esophageala cancer that was discovered very late due to my
uncaring attitude for my health. It has defiled all form of medicine and right
now, I have only about a few months to live according to medical experts. To be
frank with you, I have not particularly lived my life so well, as I never really
cared for anyone not even myself but my business and money. Though I am very rich,
I was never generous, I was always hostile to people and only focus 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 to this
world I would live my life a different way from how I have lived it. Now that I know my
time is almost up, 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
have decided to give alms 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 here in UK, United Arab Emirates and Ireland. Now that my health
has deteriorated so badly, I cannot do this my self any more. I once asked
members of my family to close one of my accounts and donate the money which I
have there to some charity organizations in Bulgaria, they refused and kept the
money to themselves. Hence, I do not trust them anymore, as they seem not
to be content with what I have left for them. The last of my money is the huge
cash deposit (20mGBP) that I have with a security firm abroad (Global
Securities). I will want you to help me collect this deposit and dispatched it
to charity organizations and let them know that it is I, Prof.Richard Doll
that is making this generous donation. I am writing this from my laptop computer
in my hospital bed where I wait for my time to come.As soon as I received your
sincere response, I will hence give you my attorneys contact who is in the
position to give you all the necessary details of how this can be done. I pray
that you will support and assist me with good heart so that I can be able to
achieve my goal. If you accept to help me do this, I promise you a reward of 30%
of the (20mGBP).contact my private email at (prof_rich_doll@yahoo.com) Thank you for understanding.Prof.Richard
Doll.
