Subject: BEFORE I DIE
Dear friend,
This letter may come to you as a surprise due to the fact that we have not yet met.
I have to say that I have no intentions of causing you any pains. My name is Mr.John
Spencer,am merchant in London,taking treatment in London. now I have been diagnosed
with prostate and esophageal cancer that was discovered very late due to lack of
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.
