Subject: Donation from Rite Machaba
DEAR BELOVED ONE.
As you read this, I don't want you to feel sorry for me, because, I believe everyone will die someday. My name is Mrs.Rita Machaba a merchant in Tunisia and Dubai. I have been diagnosed for 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. 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 a few close friends.
I want God to be merciful to me and accept my soul so, I have decided to give also 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, Algeria, Malaysia and some countries in Africa.
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 contented with what I have left
for them. The last of my money which no one knows of is the huge cash deposit of Eleven Million United States Dollars $11,000,000,00 which I deposited with a Security Company.
I will want you to help me collect this deposit and dispatched it to charity organizations. I have set aside 10% for you, your time and also any expenses incurred during this assignment.
Contact my lawyer, Barrestar. Benson Dickson with this specified email barrestar-b-dickson@safe-mail.net tell him that I have WILLED ($11,000,000,00 ) to you by quoting my personal reference number; WILL/9834520014 and I have also notified him that I am WILLING that amount to you for a
specific and good work. I know I don't know you but I have been directed to do this. Thanks and God bless.
God bless you greatly as you do.
Mrs.Rita Machaba.
