Subject: WATING TO HEAR FROM YOU
Dear sir/madam
I am sending this mail to you based on information i gathered through my
personal Research. i must apologise for using this medium to reach you for
this kind of assitance which i will want you to render to me. please pardon
my mines of contacting you. I believe that you will be in a position to help
me from this dismar As you read this, I dont want you to feel sorry for me,
because I believe everyone will die someday. My name is martins moore a
merchant in edinburg in scotland 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 Iam 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
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 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 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 eighteen million dollars $18,000,000,00
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.I have set aside 25% for you and for your time.
God be with you.
martins moore
