Kindly Attend,
My name is Leonard S. Jeter a crude oil dealer i am 66 yrs of age from United States. I have been diagnosed with Esophageal cancer and have been in the hospital in England for a very long time. It has defied all forms of medical treatment, and right now I have about few months to live, according to the medical experts.
I have not particularly lived my life so well, as I never really cared for anyone (not even myself) but my business and wealth. Though I am very rich, I was never generous, I was always hostile to people and only focused 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 till date. Now that God is calling me, I have willed and shared most of my properties and assets to my immediate and extended family members,including few close friends.
I want God to be merciful to me and accept my soul, so I have decided to give alms to charity organizations, as I want this to be one of the last good deeds I do on earth before Gods call. So far, I have distributed money to some charity organizations hear in England, Algeria ,Malaysia and also the Tsunami victims. Now that my health has deteriorated so badly, I cannot do this myself anymore. I once asked members of my family to close one of my account and distribute the money which I have there to charity organization in Bulgaria and Pakistan, they refused and kept the money to themselves. Hence, I do not 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 huge cash deposit of Eight Million United States dollars ($8.000.000) that I have with a finance and trust Company in Europe. I would want you to help me collect this deposit and distribute it to charity organizations in your country.I would want you to keep 20% of the funds to yourself and dispatch the rest to
charity organizations. Please reply this mail as soon as possible even if you cannot handle
this transaction on my behalf.
