Subject: RE: In Search of a Dependable and Trusted Person.
Dear Friend.
As you read this, I don't want you to feel sorry for me, because, I believe
everyone will die someday. My name is Peter Lawson, a merchant in Dubai, in
the U.A.E. I have been diagnosed with Esophageal Cancer which was discovered
very late, due to my laxity in carrying for my health.
It has defiled all forms 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 onlyfocus 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. 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 it.
Now that God ! has called me, I have willed and given most of my properties
and assets to my immediate and extended family members and as well as a few
close friends. I want God to be merciful to me and accept my soul and so, I
have decided to give arms to charity organizations and give succour and
confort to the less priviledged in our societies, as I want this to be oneof
the last good deeds I do on earth. So far, I have distributed money to some
charity organizations in the U.A.E, Algeria and Malaysia. Now that my health
has deteriorated so badly, I cannot dothis my self anymore.
I once asked members of my family to close one of my accounts and distribute
the money which I have there to charity organization andto the less
priviledged in Bulgaria and Pakistan, they refused and kept the money to
them selves. Hence, I donot trust them anymore, as they seem not to be
contended with what I have left for them. The last of my money which no one
knows of is the cash deposit of Ten million dollars that I have with a
Security Company in Europe for safe keeping.
I will want you to help me collect this deposit and disburse it to some
charity organizations and to the less priviledged.Please send me a mail to
indicate if you will assist me in this disbursement.
I have set aside 10% for you for your time and patience.
While I await to hear from you,
may God be with you and your entire family.
Remain blessed.
PETER LAWSON.
