Subject: REQUEST FOR ASSISTANCE

Hello,

Sorry for intruding into your privacy, i am a 65 years old man and a British citizen currently living in Kuwait. I am an Oil merchant and owned Oil businesses in Kuwait, Qatar and Saudi Arabia. I was married with two children and my wife and two children died in a car accident six years ago.

Two years ago i was diagnosed with prostate cancer and this recently my doctors informed me that i have few months to live. Before my illness my business and concern for making money was all i cared for, i never really cared about other values in life.

But since the loss of my family and after i was diagnosed with prostate cancer, i have found a new desire to assist helpless families. I have been helping charitable organizations by donating money to them to assist the less privileged in Asia and other parts of the world.

Before i became ill, i kept some money, three million five hundred thousand us dollars ($3.5million) to be precise in a long term deposit account with a private security/financial institution in Europe. Presently, i am in a hospital and my doctor says i have few months to live, and it is my last wish to see this money distributed among charitable organizations. Because so much of my wealth has been plundered by my relatives and friends since my illness, i cannot live with the agony of entrusting this huge responsibility to any of them.

I want you to assist me collect the funds from the security/finance institution in Europe and distribute it among charitable organizations. Use your judgment to distribute the money and keep 10% of it to yourself. Feel free to reimburse yourself when you have the money for any cost you incur during the process of collecting and distributing the money to the charitable organizations.

I will appreciate your confidentiality in this matter until the project is accomplished as i don’t want anything that will spoil my last wish. And i will be contacting you only by email because i have been advised by my doctors not to take any phone calls because of my health and the life support machines in my hospital room.

I am writing this from my hospital bed where i wait for my time to come. I pray that God uses you to support and assist me with good heart and may you be blessed for your good deed.

Get back to me immediately so we can proceed.

Regards,
Henry Clarke
