Kindest Attention:
My name is Mr. Bernhand Bernhand Jnr. I am from Portugal. I have been
diagnosed with Esophageal cancer. It has defiled all forms of medical
treatment, 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 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 few close
friends .I want God to be merciful to me and accept my soul so, I have decided to
give alms to charity organizations and those in Need, 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 when I was well. 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 United States, Asia, Middle East & Europe, 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 Twenty Million United States Dollars ($20, 000, 000.00)
that I have with an Asset Management / Vaulting Company Abroad. I will want
you to help me collect this deposit and dispatch it to charity organizations
and use it to help those in Need.
N/B:Kindly note that 40% of this funds must go to victims of Tsunami,
Hurricane Katrina , Hurricane Wilma and South Asia Earthquake , 50% to
other Charity Organizations around the World and 10% for your effort and
time.
I cannot talk with you on the phone due to my health situation, as I am using
my La Top Computer to communicate with you. You should respond to
this e-mail if you are interested in carrying out this assignment on my
behalf.
God be with you.
Mr. Bernhand Bernhand Jnr
