Hello Dear,
How are you today? hope you are fine.
Please permit me to introduce myself, I am Mr.Tom
Eze.
As you read this, I don't want you to feel sorry for
me,
because, I believe everyone will die someday.
I was a Crude Oil merchant in TOGO,i have been
diagnosed with Esophageal spinal cord after the motor
accident I hard A year and six months
now. It has defiled all forms of medical treatment no
improvements
I stay one place in the Hospital without walking, this
mail was
written by one of the nurses who is in the
hospital here
and hard promised to keep this secret.
I await for death any time from now may be in the next
few
months,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 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 Austra,
cameroun,liberia,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
cash
deposit of eight million dollars $8,000,000,00 that
I have with
a finance/Security Company . I will want you to
help me
collect this deposit and dispatched it to charity or
ganizations.
I have set aside 10% for you and for your time. If you
feel up to
it and you are honest, please contact me asap.and I
shall proceed
on the documents concerned you will receive this money
within 3-4
working days from now.
God be with you.
Mr Tom Eze
