Subject: From Mr. Abdul Jabar .
Good Day,
It is my sincere prayers and wishes that the year has been fulfilling and rewarding for you and your family. Sorry to surprise you and take some of your time in going through this unexpected letter of plea for your understanding and assistance. This message may come as a surprise as we have not met, but I am in desperately in need of your help.
I got this contact out of desperation and frustration,I am a victim of the Sunday the 26th of December 2004 TSUNAMI STRIKE where I lost my whole family and virtually everything I have laboured for. My name is MR.ABDUL JABAR a Saudi national and a merchant in Indonesia, Now I have been diagnosed with prostate, Oesophageal Cancer and High Blood Pressure that was discovered after the strike and shock from the heavy under-water wave that claimed many lives.
I have only about a few months to live according to medical experts. I have not particularly lived my life so well, because, I am very rich,I was always nice to people and only focus on my business as that was the only thing I cared for. Presently, I am at the hospitals bed in London where I have been undergoing treatment for oesophageal cancer. I have now lost my ability to talk and my doctor has told me that I have only a few months to live. It is my last wish to see that my money distributed to Victims of the TSUNAMI using the allocated Agencies like the UNICEF, UN. SAVE THE CHILDREN etc.
The last of my money, which is the huge cash deposit of that I have with Financial Firm in London, (UK) and in Jakata, (INDONESIA).I will want you to help me collect this deposit and dispatched it to charity organizations in charge of the tsunami victims and let them know that it is I, ABDUL JABAR that is making this generous donation and also you should deduct 15% of the total money as a reward for your time and generosity. I am writing this from my laptop computer in my hospital bed where I wait for my time to come.
I pray that God uses you to support and assist me with good heart. I am not afraid of death hence I have seen plenty of them in recent times. As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you all necessary information and the contact details of the holding firm in London and Jakata where the funds are presently been held in safe custody. You can also contact my lawyer who know better about me and the full details about this financial firm where I deposited the money in UK and JAKATA his e mail address is barrfranciscambell@hotmail.com
.His name is Barrister Francis cambell.
Yours Faithfully ,
Mr. Abdul Jabar .
