Kindest Attention:
My name is Mr.Thomas James, 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 an 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 soulso, 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 the U.A.E,Somalia and Malaysia. Now that my health
has deteriorated so badly, I cannot do this myself any more. 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 any more, 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 Ten Million United States Dollars ($10,000,000,00) that
I have with an Asset Management Company Abroad. I will want you to help me
collect this deposit and dispatch it to charity organizations.
N/B:Kindly note that 35% of this funds must go to the tsunami victims,60% to
other Charity Organization and 5% for your effort and time.I cannot talk
with you on the phone due to my health situation, as I am using my Lap 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.
Urgent Reply Needed.
God be with you.
Mr. Thomas James.
