Hello,
How are you doing? As we plan for best days ahead,
It would be good and honorable if we can touch many lives positively. My name is Mr. Jain Hagis I'm a 69 years old man, living in Europe. I was a merchant and I was into so many business ventures.
I also own some business in and out side my base. I have been searching for a trustworthy and dedicated person to assist me in fulfilling my promise to God Almighty. From this angle, your contact was given to me as the best person for this. Since I lost my family, I have found a new desire to assist helpless families. I have been helping orphans in orphanage/motherless homes. I have donated some money to orphans in Sudan, South Africa, Cameroon, Brazil, Spain, Austria, Japan, Germany and some Asian countries. Before I became ill, I kept ($5.5)Million in a long-term deposit account in a security/finance company.
Presently, I'm in a hospital where I have been undergoing treatment for esophageal cancer. I have since lost my ability to talk and my Doctors have told me that I have only a few months to live. It is my last wish to see this money distributed to charity organizations. Because relatives and friends have plundered so much of my wealth since my illness, I cannot live with the agony of trusting this huge responsibility to any of them. Please, I beg you in the name of God to help me collect the deposit and the interest accrued from the company and donates part of it for the sponsorship of research works that will benefit the entire human race, distribute the rest amongst charity homes and the needy in your country.
Use your judgment to distribute the money and feel free to reimburse yourself for any cost incur during the process of collecting, a financier friend will sponsor it. I'm willing to offer you a reward If you are willing to help, please write soon.
Kind Regards,
Jain Hagis.
