Subject: Your Kind Attention.
Dear Friend,
Greetings to you in the name of our heavenly God. This mail might come
to you as a surprise ,but please, consider it as a divine wish
and accept it with a deep sense of humility.I got your contact from a UK personal directory,and i decided to write you believing that God will use you to help me out in this situation. My name is MR WILLIAM SMITH I'm a 45 years old man,living in Madrid Spain.
I was a merchant and i owned two businesses in Dubai. I was also
married to an American woman, with two children. My wife and my two children died in the september 11,plane bomb blast that happened in USA 5 years ago.
Before this happened my business and my concern for making money was
all my interest as A living man. I never really cared about other
values in life. But since i lost of my family, I have found a new
desire to assist helpless families. Before I became ill, I kept $ 12.5 Million in a long-term deposit account in a SECURITY/FINANCE COMPANY IN MADRID SPAIN.
Presently, I'm in a hospital where I have been undergoing treatment
for oesophageal cancer. I have since lost my ability to talk 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,and for the work of the Lord, Because relatives and friends have plundered so much of my wealth since my illness, I cannot live with the agony of entrusting this huge responsibility to any of them again.
Please, I beg you in the name of God to help me claim the deposit
and the interest accrued from the company,as my appointed beneficiary and distribute it amongst charity homes, the poor & needy especially in Africa. Use your judgement to distribute the money and feel free to reimburse yourself when you have the money for any cost you incure during the process of collecting and distributing the money.
I will equally like you to help the Hurricane Katrina victims in
USA ,Charity organisations,and motherless babies homes,in any country of your choice.
I'm willing to offer you 10% of the total sum, If you are willing to help, please reply as soon as you can to my email. May the good Lord bless you and your family.
Regards,
William Smith
