Subject: I need your urgent assistance

Dear Friend,

Greetings to you and your family.

Please I want you to read this mail with kindness considering my present condition. I don't want you to feel sorry for me because I believe everyone will die someday.

My name is Kenneth Edward, a business merchant in Dubai . I have been diagnosed with esophageal cancer which was discovered very late, due to my laxity in carrying for my health. 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 U.A.E, Algeria and Malaysia

Now that my health has deteriorated so badly, I cannot do this myself any more. 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 Bulgaria and Pakistan ; 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 sum of US$6.5 Million which I deposited to a bank in London .I will want you to help me in collecting the deposit and dispatch it to charity organizations if you are less busy and can handle this project. I expect your prompt response to enable me give you the necessary details.

I will also like to have your telephone numbers so that I can call you if I am strong enough to speak on phone.

God bless you.

Kenneth Edward.
