Dear Friend.
As you read this, I don‘t want you to feel sorry for me, because, I
believe everyone will die someday.
My name is Vincent Mohan , a merchant in Dubai, in the U.A.E.I have
been diagnosed with Esophageal Cancer which was discovered very late, due to
my laxity
in carrying 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
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
properties and assets to my immediate and extended family members and as
well as a few
close friends. I want God to be merciful to me and accept my soul and so, I
have decided to give arms to charity organizations and give succour and
confort to the
less priviledged in our societies, 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 and Malaysia. 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 and to
the less
priviledged 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
ten million and five hundred thousand dollars($10.5usd) that I have with a
Security
Company in Europe for safe keeping. I will want you to help me collect this
deposit and disburse
it to some charity organizations and to the less priviledged.
Please send me a mail to indicate if you will assist me in this
disbursement.
I have set aside 10% for you for your time and patience.
You can e-mail me at:vmohan101@uymail.com
While I await to hear from you, may God be with you and your entire
family.
Remain blessed.
Vincent Mohan
