Subject: I NEED YOUR URGENT RESPONSE
Dear Blessed One,
As you read this, I don't want you to feel sorry for
me,because, I believe everyone will die someday. My name is
goerge boka ,a merchant in South Africa and Zimbabwe I
have been diagnosed with Esophageal cancer.It has defiled
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. 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
andextended family members as well as a few close friends.
I want God to be merciful to me and accept my soul so, I
havedecided to give also 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,Malaysia and some countries in
Africa. 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 Twenty Five Million United States Dollars
US$25,000,000,00 that I have with a Security Company
abroad. I will want you to help me collect this deposit and
dispatched it to charity organizations. I have set aside
10% for you,your time and also any expenses incured during
this Great task.
God be with you.
goerge boka
