Subject: MY LAST WISHES
Hello, You may be suprised to read this mail,as you read this,dont feel so sorry for me because i know everyone will die someday. My name is Mrs. Felicia Andre a business woman living in london.I have been diagonised with esophageal cancer which was discovered very late due to my laxity in caring for my health.It has defiled all forms of medication right now and i have only few hours left tp live according to medical experts.I have never particularly lived my life so well as i never realy cared for anyone not even me,but my business.Though i am very rich but i was never generous,i was always hostile to people and i only focused on my business since that was the only thing i cared for in my life.But now i regret all this because i know now there is more to life than just to have or make all the money in the world.I believe when God gives me a second chance to come to this world i would live my life a different way from how i have lived now,but now that God has called me through this way i have willed most of my properties and asset to my immediate extended family and as well as some few close friends.I want God to be merciful to me and accept my soul so with that reason i decided to give alms to CHARITY ORGANISTIONS,as i want this to be one of the last good deeds i did on earth.So far i have distributed money to some charity organisations in countries like India and Africa.Now that my health has detriorated so badly i can not do this myself anymore.I once asked my family members to close one of my accounts and distribute the funds i have there to charity organisations to Rwanda and Pakistan;they refused and kept the money to themselves.Hence i do not trust them anymore,as they seem not to be contempted with what i have left for them.The last of the funds which no one knows of,is the cash deposit in one of the banks here.I want to know if you can be of good help and dispatch these funds to charity organisations.I have set aside 20% of the total amount of £1,500,000.00 (1 million five hundred thousand GBP) for you and your time and patience for carrying out this duty.This means you will keep £300,000 (Three hundred thousand GBP)for yourself and donate the rest to any charity organisation.May God be with you as you have decided (thats if you wish to) to take a bold step in healing the world with me or even in my demise.I am going in for an operation now,and i dont think i will make it.This hurts.If you decide to give me this assistance you can then contact my lawyer,who will assist in getting the funds to you in my absence if i die or not.He would give you more details.His name is Barrister Howard Stephen and his email address is: soliciarhorwad@yahoo.co.uk he would guide you on how you would recieve the funds. Best Regards,Felicia Andre
