Subject: VERY URGENT AND CONFIDENTIAL

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 Chris elumelu, an Oil merchant in Holland, in
the I have been diagnosed with Esophageal Cancer which was
discovered very late, due to my laxity in carrying 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 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 properties and assets to my immediate and
extended family members and as well as a few close
friends.

I want God to be merciful to me and accept my soul and so,
I have decided to give arms to charity organisations and
give succour and comfort to the less privileged in our
societies, 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
organisations in the Croatia, Algeria, Laos, Nepal and
Sri-Lanka.

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 organisation and
to the less privileged 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 $13,000,000,00
that I have with a finance brokers and Security
underwriters in Europe with its head office in Ontario,
Toronto, Canada.

This financial company operates in funds management,
international cash,banking with a reputable correspondent
bank worldwide,bullion underwriting,security handling and
general appropriation.

I will want you to assist me transfer this deposit into
your bank account and dispatched it to charity
organisations and world HIV/AIDS programmes in Ethiopia,
the Tsunami Victims in Indonessia and some other less
privileged and displaced people in Dafur, Sudan Please
kindly contact me through my private email address below.

Keep this confidential and treat with discretion, while i
await to hear from you.

Please send me a mail to indicate if you will assist me in
this disbursement. I am ready to welcome your price on

this. You can e-mail me at my private e-mail address:
chriselumelu4@yahoo.com, for easy communication While I
await to hear from you, may God be with you and your
entire family.

Remain blessed,
chris elumelu.
