Subject: RE:GOD BLESSING TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY FROM ..MR ..COLE
Hello Friend,
Your first reaction to this mail will be total rejection, scare and may be
disbelief, owning largely to the atrocities people commit these days. But
this mail comes from a devastated, sorrowful and emotional laden soul that
needs compassion from a kind and good spirited person to wipe away my tears
and appropriate my dream and humanitarian gesture. As you read this, I don't
want you to feel sorry forme, because, I believe everyone dies someday. My
name is nelson cole a merchant in Dubai,inthe U.A.E.I worked with Zambian
Ministry of Mining and Resources for eight years as a contractor,I have been
diagnosed with Esophageal cancer .It has defiled all forms of medical
treatment,I am very worried as the doctors have informed me that its
terminal. I don't know how much time I have left on earth, hence this mail
to you.I have not particularly lived my life well, as I never really cared
for anyone 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 hence, I 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 U.A.E,Algeria and
Malaysia. 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 content with what
I have left for them. The last of my money which no one knows of is the huge
cash deposit of $18,000,000,00 that I have with a finance/Security Company
abroad.
I will want you to help me collect this deposit and dispatch it to charity
organizations. I have set aside 20% for you and for your time.
