Subject: PLEASE GET BACK TO ME
My name is Mr.David Wood, I am from ENGLAND Please take this serious, I am taking this liberty anchored on strong desire to ask for your assistance for help.Your consent and urgent attention will greatly be needed, devoid of apprehensions. I have been diagnosed with Esophageal cancer.It has defied all forms of medical treatment, and right now I have only about a few months to live, according to medical experts.
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 know that there is more to life than just wanting to have or make all the money in the world, now that i have been diagnosed with this deadly disease I have willed and given most of my property and assets to my immediate and extended family members as well as 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 in the Somalia and Malaysia.Now that my health has deteriorated so badly, I cannot do this myself anymore.
I once asked members of my family to close one of my accounts and distribute the money, which I have there to charity organization in Bulgeria and Haiti; they refused and kept the money to themselves.
Hence, I do not trust them anymore, as they seem not to 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 Ten Million United States Dollars ($10,000,000,00) that I have with a Finance Vaulting Unit in Europe.
I will want you to help me collect this deposit and dispatch it to charity organizations.Kindly note that 30% of this funds must go to the tsunami victims 45% to other Charity Organization and 25% for your effort and time.I cannot talk with you on the phone due to my health situation, as I am using my Laptop Computer to communicate with you.
Get back to me with my alternative email ( d.wood009@yahoo.com.hk) if only if you are interested in carrying out this assignment on my behalf.
