Dear Sir Madam,
This is to notify you that you have been chosen By the Board of trustees of
the above International charity organization
branch in the Netherlands as one of the final recipients of a Cash
Grant/Donation for your own personal, education and
business development.
The international registered Foundation is named after over 5 top company
owners put together. The charitable foundation was
reported by the business newspaper, the Economist between the year
2000-2007 to be technically one of the world's wealthiest
charity foundation- worth billions of USD($) - but its primary purpose is,
by some, believed to be BRINGING INNOVATIONS IN
HEALTH AND LEARNING TO THE GLOBAL COMMUNITY. George Soros is chairman of
the foundation. Having been rated as the founder and
chairman of a network of foundations, the foundation has decided to
randomly select email addresses that would benefit from
this year's donation/award.
Association Of European Charity Foundations in conjunction with the
European Union is giving out a yearly donation of Two
Million United States Dollars as specific.
Donations/Grants to 50 lucky international recipients worldwide in
different categories for their educational pursuit, health
care, personal Business development and uplift of their environments. These
funds are freely given to you to use for your
business educational and personal development and at least 30% to be used
by you to develop a part of your environment, as
this is a yearly program, which is a measure of universal development
strategy, and eradication of poverty.
Please kindly note that you are not the only beneficiary in your country
this year, and your country is not the only country
that is benefiting from this donation, as beneficiaries have been chosen
from countries from all continents.
The idea of this donation is that within ten years from now, there will be
notable richness amongst many unusual people
around the world.
This will give many people the opportunity to get their lives to a stage
where they had always wanted. Kindly note that you
will only be chosen to receive the donation once. Which means that,
subsequent yearly donation will not get to you again, so
its your choice to spend the donation wisely on something that will last
you a long time. And please do not bother following
up this email, if you have benefited from this donation in previous years.
Based on the random selection exercise of internet service providers (ISP)
and millions of Super market cash invoices
worldwide, you were selected among the lucky recipients to receive the
award sum of US$2,000,000.00 (Two Million United
States Dollars) as charity donations/aid from the Association Of European
Charity Foundations and the UNO in accordance with
the enabling act of Parliament. Note that, your email was selected from
either the internet, or a Shop's cash invoice around
your area in which you might have purchased something from.
You are required to expeditiously Contact the Executive Secretary below for
qualification documentation and processing of
your claims, from Monday through Sunday.
On contact with this officer, you'll be given your donation pin number
which you will use in collecting the funds.

due to beneficiaries informing third parties about

Finally, all funds should be claimed by their respective beneficiaries, not
later that 7 days after notification, as failure
to do so will be to that particular beneficiary cancelled and its donation
reserved for next years recipients.
