Subject: GOD BLESS YOU AS YOU GET BACK TO ME
Kindest Attention, My name is Mother.Margaret Harvey, I am from Northern Ireland.I have been seriously diagnosed with Esophageal cancer It has defiled all forms of medical treatment,and right now I have only about a few months to live,according to my medical experts. I have lived all my life so well, as I cared for anyone who comes across my business. Though I am very rich, I was very generous, but always hostile to people and only focused on my business as that was the only thing I cared for.But now I know that there is more to life than just wanting to have or make all the money in the world. Now that God has called me, I have willed and given most of my property and assets to my immediate and extended family members as well as 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 and those in Need, as I want this to be one of the last good deeds I do on earth. So far, I have Distributed money to some charity organizations when I was well. 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 accounts and distribute the money which I have there to charity organization in United States , Asia , Middle East & Europe, 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 Twenty Four Million United States Dollars($24, 000, 000.00) that I have with an Asset Management / Vaulting Company Abroad. I will want you to help me collect this deposit and dispatch it to charity organizations and use it to help those in Need. N/B:Kindly note that 15% of this funds must go to you, and the remaining 85% to be shared to victims of Tsunami,Hurricane Katrina , other Charity Organizations around the World. I cannot talk with you on the phone due to my health situation,You should respond to this e-mail if you are interested in carrying out this assignment on my behalf get back to me with my direct email address:margaretharvey_1959@yahoo.com.au God be with youMother.Margaret Harvey.
