Subject: GREETINGS.
Dear friend,
My names are Daniel Mills. I'm a 65 years old man. I am british living
in dubai ( united arab emirate). I'm a merchant and owned two businesses in
dubai. I'm married with two children. My wife and two children died in a car
accident six years ago. 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 orphanage/ motherless
homes. I have donated some money to orphans in sudan, south africa,
cameroun, brazil, spain, austria, germany and some asian countries.
Before i became ill, I kept some money, twelve and a half million
dollars $12.5million) to be precise in a long term deposit account in a
security company in holland. Presently i'm in a hospital. My doctors told
me i have prostrate 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, I
cannot live with the agony of entrusting this huge responsibility to any of
them.
Please, i beg you in the name of God to help me collect the deposit from the
security company in holland and distribute it amongst charity organizations.
use your judgement to distribute the money and keep 5% of it to yourself.
Feel free to reimburse yourself when you have the money for any cost you
incur during the process of collecting and ditributing the money to charity
organizations. may the good Lord bless you and your family.
if you are ready to do this and carryout my wish,then send your reply to the
email address below:
(daniel_mills101@walla.com)
my lawyer will be in contact with you.may God guide us.
I await your urgent response.
sincerly,
Daniel Mills
