Subject: hello
Dear Beloved,
As you read this, I don't want you to feel sorry for me,because, I believe
everyone will die someday. My name is Mr Alan Rowland. I have been diagnosed
with Esophageal cancer.It has defiled all forms of medical treatment, and
right now I have only about a few months to live,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 also 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 the U.A.E, Algeria,Malaysia and some countries in
Africa. 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 huge cash deposit of
Eleven Million United States Dollars US$11,000,000,00 that I have with a
Security Company abroad. I will want you to help me collect this deposit and
dispatched it to charity organizations.
I have set aside 5% for you,your time and also any expenses that you might
incured during this Great task.
God be with you.
