Subject: PLEASE ACKNOWLEDGE RECEIPT
Dear Friend,
It is indeed my pleasure to write you this letter, which
I believe will be a surprise,since we met on the net, we are both
complete strangers. As you read this, I don't want you to
feel sorry for me, because I believe everyone will die
someday.
My name is Dunham Chase, a former merchant in Quater,
I have been diagnosed with Esophageal cancer which
was discovered very late, due to my laxity in caring for my
health. It has defiled all forms of medicine, 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 focus 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 I
have a second chance to come to this world I would live my
life a different way from how I had lived it, now that it
is dark for me, I have willed and given most of my
properties and assets to my immediate and extended family
members and as well as a few close friends.
To correct my wrong past life, I have decided to give alms
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 Morroco,Tunisia,and Ethopia.
Now that my health has deteriorated so badly, I cannot do
this my self 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 fourty million dollars(USD$40,000,000) that I have with a
Fiducially Company in Europe I will want you to help me
collect this deposit and dispatched it to charity
organizations and you must be sending me information's of
how it was disbursed either by email or otherwise .
I have set aside 10% for you for your time and patience.
Thanks.
Dunham Chase.
NB
Please do not share my email address with anyone as I have
received some emails from some unscrupulous people claiming
to be charity organizations and other weird stories.
However; I will be happy to hear from you from this my
