Subject: Divine encounter with you
URGENT - DIVINE ENCOUNTER WITH YOU TO THE LESS PRIVILADGED
IN SUMMARY:- I have 15,000,000.00 (fifteen million) U.S. Dollars and I want
you to assist me in distributing the money to charity organizations.
I agree to reward you with part of the money for your assistance, kindness
and participation in this Godly project.
This mail might come to you as a surprise and the temptation to ignore it as
unserious could come into your mind but please consider it a divine wish and
accept it with a deep sense of humility.
I am MR. AUSTEN KALUSHA and I am a 55 years old man, a South African living
in the Garden City of Port Harcourt , an oil reached state at the suburb of
eastern Nigeria, and i was the Director/CEO of KOFOWIL OIL LIMITED - an oil
servicing comapny in Port Harcourt.
I was also married, and had two children, my wife and the two children died
in a car accident six years ago. Before this happened our business and
concern for making money was all I was living for and I never really cared
about other people.
But since the loss of my family, I have found a new desire to assist the
helpless. I have been helping orphans in orphanages/motherless homes. I have
donated some money to orphans in Sudan, Ethiopia, Cameroon,Spain,
Austria,Germany and some Asian countries. Before I became ill, I kept
$15Million in a long-term deposit account in Yet to disclosed bank in
Overseas.
Presently, I am in the hospital where I have been undergoing treatment for
oesophageal cancer and my doctors have told me that I have only a few months
to live. It is my last wish to see this money distributed to charity
organizations. Because my relatives and friends has plundered so much of my
wealth since my illness, I cannot live with the agony of entrusting this
huge responsibility to any of them. Please, I beg you in the name of God to
help me collect the $15 Million and the interest
accrued on the deposit from undisclosed bank in Overseas and distributes it
amongst charity organizations. You are at liberty to use your discretion to
distribute the money and feel free as well to reimburse yourself when you
have the money for any expenses you incur in the course of collecting and
distributing the money to charity organizations. I am willing to reward you
for your assistance and kindness.
Kindly expedite action and contact me via e-mail: austen_kallu@yahoo.fr
if this proposal is acceptable to you.
May the good Lord bless you and your family.
Best Regards,
MR. AUSTEN KALUSHA
