Subject: Greetings From Russia
Hello Friend,It is indeed my pleasure to write you this letter, which I believe will be asurprise to you as we have never met before, and I am deeply sorry if I havein any manner disturbed your privacy. Please forgive this unusual manner ofcontacting you. My name is Mrs sarah khoshaba, A Russia national. I havebeen diagnosed with Oesophageal cancer .It has defied all forms of medical treatment, and rightnow I have onlyabout 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 asthe only thing I cared for. But now I regret all this as that was I nowknow that there is more to life than just wanting to have or make all themoney in the world. I believe when God gives me a second chance to cometo 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 myproperty and assets to my immediate and extended family members as well as afew close friends .I want God to be merciful to me and accept my soul so, Ihave decided to give alms to charity organizations, as I want this to be oneof the last good deeds I do on earth. So far, I have Distributed money tosome charity organizations in the U.A.E, Somalia and Malaysia. Now that myhealth has deteriorated so badly, I cannot do this myself anymore. I onceasked members of my family to close one of my accounts and distribute themoney which I have there to charity organization in Bulgaria and Pakistan,they refused and kept the money to themselves. Hence, I do not trust themanymore, 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 TwoMillion five hundred thousand dollars($2,500,000.00) that I have with a finance House abroad. I will wan!
t

Upon receipt of yourresponse,I shall communicate with you, and let you know the details of the transfer.Whatever your actions and your decision, I thank you for taking the time toread this email .Regards, Mrs sarah khoshaba
