From: "James Kotulai" <jb1kotulai@hotmail.com>
Date: Tue, 24 Apr 2007 16:38:16 +0100
Subject: Dear Beloved in Christ.
Dear beloved;
I greet you in the name of God Almighty.
I got your contact through prayers and painstaking efforts in my search for
a reliable and God fearing person to help me carry out my last wish.
My name is Mr. James Kotulai, I 'm a 45 years old man from Malaysia.
Presently, I am in London where I am receiving medical care.
Prior to my ailment, I was a merchant and business owner in Malaysia and
Dubai, the United Arab Emirates. I was also married with five children. My
wife and five children died in a bomb blast in Iraq where there reside four
years ago. Before this happened, my business and concern for making money
was all I lived for. I never really cared about other values in life. But
since the loss of my family, I have found a new desire to assist helpless
families. I have been helping orphans in orphanage/motherless homes.
I have also donated some money for humanitarian needs in some African
countries. Only recently, I saw on television the colossal loss of
properties and livelihood of people in Canberra, Australia through Water
flood. I was moved with great pity and compassion that I decided to make a
contribution on assisting people over there.
Before I became ill, I kept $20,000,000 Million in a finance company in
China. Presently, I'm in a hospital where I have been undergoing treatment
for esophageal cancer. I have since lost my ability to talk and my doctors
have told me that I have only a few weeks to live. It is my last wish to see
this money distributed to the needy and other charity organizations. Because
relatives and friends have plundered so much of my wealth since my illness,
I cannot live with the agony of entrusting this huge responsibility to any
of them.
Please, I beg you in the name of God to help me collect the deposit from the
finance company based in China and distribute it accordingly. Use your
judgment to distribute the money and keep 20% of it to yourself. Feel free
to reimburse yourself when you have the money for any cost you incur during
the process of collecting and distributing the money. If you are willing to
help, please forward your full contact details like your name, address and
telephone numbers to: jbkotulai@o2.pl so that I can refer you to the finance
house where the funds is lodged.
May God Bless you as you assist in carrying out this last wish.
Regards,
Mr. James Kotulai.
