Subject: CONSIDER THIS!
Dear ,
Greetings to you and Please permit me to introduce myself. I am Mr.Luca Sandro,
an Italian crude oil Merchant based in Sao Tome and Principe.I was so lucky to
come in contact with your profile and email address on the internet, and that is
why I am contacting you.I was diagnosed with esophageal cancer which has defiled
all medical solutions and according to medical experts I only have a few more
months to live. As you read this you do not have to feel sorry for me as it is a
universal truth that we all must die someday, the only problem with mine though
being that I have particularly not lived my life well in spite of my wealth and
possessions as I never really cared for anyone (not even myself) but my
business. Though I am very rich I was never generous, I was never caring about
people but only dedicated my time and resources on my business as that was the
only thing I cared about. But now I regret all this as I now know that there is
more to life than just accumulating all the wealth in the world, as I lay
helplessly on my sick bed. If I was given a second chance to live again I sure
would live my life a different way from how I have lived it owing to what has
befallen me now.As my last days alive are drawing closer and closer I have
already willed out most of my properties and assets to my immediate and extended
family members as well as a few close friends. I also want my soul to be at
peace with God and for him to be merciful on me and accept my soul and to this
regard I have resolved to give my remaining funds to charity organizations as I
want this to stand as one of the last deeds I indulge in on earth before I die.
Though I have already distributed money to some charity organizations, Now that
my health has deteriorated so badly I can no longer continue with this myself
and also I do not trust my immediate family members or close friends on this, as
I have once asked them to close one of my accounts and distribute the funds
therein to charity organizations in Sudan,Somolia, Haiti and India they greedily
kept the money to themselves.Hence I am contacting you with this as I have lost
confidence in them because it is obvious they are not contented with what I have
left for them. The last of my funds which no one knows of is a cash deposit of
Fourteen million U.S Dollars ($14,000,000,00) stashed in two trunk boxes and
declared as Personal effects of high security value which I have with a
finance/Security Company in the Netherlands
.
All I am asking of you is to assist me in making the collection of this deposit
and dispatching the funds to any charity of your choice after keeping 20% of the
funds for yourself and your family.10% of these funds should be to cover any
expenses that might be incurred in the process of making this claims. Please
contact me as soon as you get this email if you are capable and sincere to
handle this transaction on my behalf so I can forward you with all relevant
documents necessary for the claims and the name of the security firm where the
funds are deposited. God bless you as I await words from you. Please inform me
as soon as possible via my email addres luca.sandro@yahoo.it, even if you are
not interested so I can proceed to seek for someone else to carry out this on my
behalf. Thanks for your anticipated co-operation.
Luca Sandro.
