Subject: TREAT AS URGENT
Dear Friend,
I sincerely hope that after you read this mail you will respond to my
call,let me start by introducing myself my name is MR KAVIN BRITENY. i'm 65
years old ,a british living in Ouagadougou (Burkinafaso WEST AFRICA). I am a
businessman and owns two companies here in Ouagadougou,
married with two children.My wife and two children died in a car accident
six years
ago but before this happened my business and concern for making money was
all i lived for i never really cared about other values in life but since
the loss of my family, i have found a new desire to assist helpless familes.
i have been helping orphans in motherless homes, i have donated some money
to orphans in sudan, south africa, cameroun, brazil, Holland, austria
germany and some asian countries. Before i became ill, i kept some money,
ten and a half million dollars ($10.5million) to be precise in a long
term deposit account in a security company in Holland . Presently, i'm in a
hospital my doctor told me i have prostate cancer that i have a few months
to live.it is my last wish to see this money distributed to charity
organizations. because so much of my wealth has been plundered by relatives
and friends since my illness,hence i cannot live with the agony of
entrusting this huge responsibility to any of them since the money in the
security company is the last fund that i have left.
Right now i am partialy stranded in the hospital due to the nature of my
sickness so i am appealing to you to help me collect the deposit from the
security company in Holland and distribute it amongst charity organizations.
I would want you to use your discretion to distribute the money and keep 10%
of it for yourself. Feel free to reimburse yourself when you have the money
for any cost you might have incured during the process of collecting and
distributing the money to charity organizations. May the good Lord bless you
and your family. as i can only communicate through my laptop which is by my
bed,as soon as i get your response i shall then give you
the necessary informations you need to collect this money.
With Regards,
MR KAVIN BRITENY
