Subject: urgent respose if ready and willing
Attn: Sir/madam
I sincerely hope that after you read this mail you will respond to my
call.Let me start by introducing myself.
My name is Robert Mark. i'm 65 years old ,a British living in london
I am a businessman and owns two companies here in london,
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, spain, austria
usa
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 Spain .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 Spain 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 mfor 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.Please reply to this mail
robertmark010@yahoo.fr also you can call me with my telephone number
447040129462 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 consignment of money
With Regards,
Mr Robert Mark.
