Subject: LETS JOIN HANDS AND WORK FOR GOD.
FROM:Mr.Maadeu Folarintumo.Rue Street 10. Lome Togo. Hello Dear, How are you today?hope you are fine. Please permit me to introduce myself, I am Mr.Maadeu Folarintumo.As youread this, I don't want you to feel sorry for me, because, I believe everyone will die someday. I was a Crude Oil merchant in TOGO,i have been diagnosed with Esophageal spinal cord after the motor accident I hard A year and six monthsnow. It has defiled all forms of medical treatment no improvements I stay one place in the Hospital without walking, this mail was written by one of my closerest nurse who is in the hospital here and hard promised to keep this secret. I await for death any time from now may be in the next few months,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 ha!! s 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 so, I have 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 Austra,cameroun,liberia,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 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 dollars $20,000,000,00 that I have with a finance/Security Company abroad. I will want you to help me collect this deposit and dispatched it to charity organizations. I have set aside 10% for you and for your time. If you feel up to it and you are honest, please contact me asap.and I shall proceed on the documents concerned you will receive this money within 3-4working days from now. God be with you.
