Subject: Charity Organisations
Dear friend,
It is indeed my pleasure to write to you this letter, which I believe
will be a suprise,as we are both complete strangers.
As you read this, I don't want you to feel sorry for me, because I
believe everyone will die someday. My name is Mr Wan John, a former
merchant in Dubai, in the U.A.E. I have been diagnosed with Esophageal
cancer which was discovered very late, due to my laxity in caring for
my health.
It has defiled all forms of medicine,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 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 I have a second chance to come to this world I
would live my life a different way from how I had lived it, now that it
is dark for me, 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. To correct my wrong past
life,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
my
self 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 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 huge cash deposit of Ten million dollars that I have with a
Fudicial Company Abroad, I will want you to help me collect this deposit
and dispatched it to charity organizations and you must be sending me
informations of how it was disbursed either by email or otherwise . I
have set aside 10% for you for your time and
patience.
Thanks.
Mr Li Wong.
NB
Please do not share my email address with anyone as I have received
some emails from some unscrupulos people claiming to be charity
organisations and other weird stories.
