From Mrs. Deborah William.
Dear Friend ,
Please use this money for the less privileged.
Greetings to you and your family in the name of God. 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 Mrs. Deborah William.. I am 65 years old woman,
from Nether land-Holland. I was a merchant and owned two businesses in
Dubai. I was also married with two children. My husband and two children
died in a car accident six years ago.
Before this happened, my business and concern for making money was all I
live 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 orphanage/motherless homes. I have also donated
some money for humanitarian needs in some of the countries in Europe,America
Africa and Asian continent.
Only recently I saw on television the colossal loss of properties and livelihood
people in Canberra, Australia through fire. I was moving with great pity
and compassion that I decided to make this contribution on assisting people
over there, I kept US20.5 Million United States Dollars in a long-term deposit
account in a Finance company in Canada Presently, I'm in a hospital where
I have been undergoing treatment for esophagi cancer at Netherland. I have
since lost my ability to talk and my doctors have told me that I have only
few months to live.
It is my last wish to see this money distributed to victims of the fire
outbreak in Australia and other charity organization. I have enclosed for
you the Current Photograph I took below 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 collect the deposit and distribute it
accordingly. Use your judgment to distribute the money and keep 10% of it
to yourself. If you are willing to help, please reply as soon as possible.
With your phone number. Once I receive your urgent reply, my attorney will
assist you to have this fund clear from the security/finance company where
this fund is deposited.
May the good God bless you? Send reply and all correspondences to my private
email: gpearls_l@yahoo.com
Regards
Mrs. Deborah William.
