Dear Friend.
As you read this, I don't want you to feel sorry for me, because, I believe
everyone will die someday, my name is John Mike Walsh, a merchant in Benin
Republic.I have been diagnosed with Esophageal cancer, which has defiled
all forms of medical treatment, and right now I have only about a few months
to
live according to medical experts reports.
Well I have not particularly lived my life so well, as I never really care
for anyone (not even for myself)but only my business and money Though I
am very rich without a child to inherit the money, 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 am regretting it all, 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 God gives me a second chance to come to this world I would
live my life a different way from how I have lived it, Now that God has
called me,I have willed and given most of my property and assets to my immediate
and extended family members as well as a few close friends.
I want God to be merciful to me and accept my soul so I have decided to
give all to the 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 Benin Republic, U.A.E, Burkina Faso, Algeria 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 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 Thirteen
million dollars($13,000,000),that I have with a finance/Security Company
abroad.I will want you to help me collect this deposit and dispatched it
to charity organizations.
You will have 20% for yourself, for your time and patience and the remaining
80% you MUST give to charity, as it is my heart desire before joining my
creator. Please send a reply through this email address with your full contact
information for more private and confidential communication- this is very
important.
God be with you.
John Mike Walsh.
