Hello,
My name is Mrs. Marie Roberts, , A Businesswoman
I have been diagnosed esophageal Cancer that
was discovered very late due to my laxity in caring for my health. It has
defiled all form of medicine 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 focus 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 am gives a second chance to come to this world, I
would live my life a different way from how I have lived.
Now that I know my time is near, I have willed and given most of my
properties and assets to my immediate and extended family members and as
well as a few close friends and Schools. 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.
I have whole heartedly donated to victims of Tsunami following that
unfortunate
incident.
Now that my health has deteriorated so badly,
I cannot do this my self any more. I once asked members of my family to
close one of my accounts and donate the money, which I have there to
charity organization in Bulgaria; 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 is the huge
cash deposit that I have with Financial Firm Abroad .
I have set aside 20% of the total amount $1,500,000.00 One million five
hundred thousand dollars) for you and your time and
patience for carrying out this duties.This means you will keep $300,000
(three hundred thousand dollars) for yourself and donate the rest to any
charity organisation.
Kindly Contact my lawyer through this email address
(larrsmith_s@yahoo.co.uk )
so that he can arrange the release of the funds
I am writing this from my hospital bed where I wait for my time to come.
Yours truly,
Marie Roberts,
NB: I will appreciate your utmost confidentiality in this matter until
the task is accomplished as I don’t want anything that will jeopardize
my last wish. And also I will be contacting you by email as i don’t
want anybody to know because they are always around me.
