Subject: GOD BLESS YOU AS YOU REPLY
DEAR FRIEND,
GREETINGS AND GOD'S MOST CHERISHED BLESSINGS. I CAME ACROSS YOUR NAME AND CONTACT IN A TRADE LISTING IN MY SEARCH FOR A RELIABLE AND GOD FEARING PERSON AND HAVING GOTTEN YOUR CONTACT THROUGH PRAYERS AND PAINSTAKING EFFORTS, I HAVE DECIDED TO SEEK YOUR HELP IN CARRYING OUT MY LAST WISHES.
MY NAME IS HEDAYAT OMIDVAR.
I AM 40 YEARS OLD MAN FROM IRAN. I WAS AN OIL MERCHANT IN KUWAIT AND SAUDI ARABIA FOR TWELVE YEARS AND OWN TWO BUSINESSES IN ABIDJAN AND DUBAI. I WAS ALSO MARRIED WITH TWO CHILDREN. MY WIFE AND TWO CHILDREN DIED IN A CAR ACCIDENT SIX YEARS AGO. PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT MY BUSINESS AND CONCERN FOR MAKING MONEY WAS ALL I LIVED FOR. I NEVER REALLY CARED ABOUT OTHER VALUES IN LIFE.
PRESENTLY, I AM SUFFERING FROM LONG TIME ESOPHAGEAL CANCER AND HAVE SINCE BEEN IN HOSPITAL BED HERE IN KUWAIT. FROM ALL INDICATION MY CONDITIONS IS REALLY DETERIORATING AND I HAVE SINCE LOST MY ABILITY TO WALK. IT IS QUITE OBVIOUS THAT I WON’T LIVE MORE THAN SIX MONTHS, ACCORDING TO MY DOCTORS,
THIS IS BECAUSE THE CANCER STAGE HAS GOTTEN TO A VERY BAD STAGE.CONSIDERING MY PRESENT CONDITION AND WITH THE LOSS OF MY FAMILY, I HAVE FOUND A NEW DESIRE TO ASSIST HELPLESS FAMILIES. ONLY RECENTLY I SAW ON TELEVISION THE COLOSSAL LOSS OF PROPERTIES AND LIVELIHOOD PEOPLE IN INDONESIA AND SUDAN THROUGH TSUNAMI AND CIVIL WAR. I WAS MOVED WITH GREAT PITY AND COMPASSION THAT I DECIDED TO MAKE CONTRIBUTION ON ASSISTING PEOPLE OVER THERE BEFORE I TOOK ILL, I DEPOSITED THE SUM OF US$9.2 MILLION IN A FINANCE COMPANY OVERSEAS FOR A LONG TIME NOW.
HENCE DOCTORS HAS ADVISED ME THAT I MAY NOT LIVE FOR MORE THAN SIX MONTHS, I NOW DECIDED TO DONATE THE PART OF THIS WEALTH, TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE DEVELOPMENT AND ASSISTANCE OF THE LESS PRIVILEGED AND VICTIMS OF WAR IN AFRICA, AMERICA, ASIA, AND EUROPE.
IT IS MY LAST WISH TO SEE THIS MONEY IS DISTRIBUTED TO VICTIMS BECAUSE RELATIVES AND FRIENDS HAVE PLUNDERED SO MUCH OF MY WEALTH SINCE MY ILLNESS, I CANNOT LIVE WITH THE AGONY ENTRUSTING THIS HUGE RESPONSIBILITY TO ANY OF THEM. PLEASE, I BEG YOU IN THE NAME OF GOD TO HELP ME RETRIEVE THE DEPOSIT FROM THE SECURITY COMPANY AND DISTRIBUTE IT ACCORDINGLY. USE YOUR JUDGMENT TO DISTRIBUTE THE MONEY AND KEEP 5% OF IT TO YOURSELF. FEEL FREE TO REIMBURSE YOURSELF WHEN YOU HAVE THE MONEY FOR ANY COST YOU INCURE DURING THE PROCESS OF COLLECTING AND DISTRIBUTING THE MONEY.
AS SOON AS I RECEIVE YOUR REPLY ON EMAIL: (hedayatomidvar@mailcanada.ca) I SHALL GIVE YOU THE CONTACT INFORMATION OF THE SECURITY COMPANY WHERE THE MONEY WAS DEPOSITED. I WILL ALSO ISSUE A LETTER OF AUTHORITY TO THE SECURITY COMPANY AUTHORIZING THEM THAT THE SAID FUND HAS BEEN WILLED TO YOU AND A COPY OF SUCH AUTHORIZATION WILL BE FORWARDED TO YOU.
LASTLY, I HONESTLY PRAY THAT THIS MONEY WHEN IN YOUR POSSESSION WILL BE USED FOR THE SAID PURPOSE, BECAUSE I HAVE COME TO FIND OUT THAT WEALTH ACQUISITION IS VANITY. ANY DELAY IN YOUR REPLY WILL GIVE ME ROOM IN SEARCHING FOR ANOTHER INDIVIDUAL FOR THIS SAME PURPOSE.
GOD BLESS YOU AS I AWAIT YOUR REPLY.
TRULY YOURS,
HEDAYAT OMIDVAR.
