Subject: FOR CHARITY
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 LOI a merchant in Dubai,in the U.A.E. I worked with Kuwait oil Company and eight years as a contractor. I have been 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 medical experts.
I have not particularly lived my life so well, as I ever really cared
for anyone(not even myself) but my business. Though I was 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. 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 a few close friends.
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. 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 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
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 only person I would have trusted to do this with is
my lawyer but he is a very busy man as he is occupied with other
official tasks, thus he would not have the time to assist me with this mission
as I want to see this done before my death.
The last of my money which no one knows of is the huge cash deposit of
eighteen million dollars $18,000,000,00 that I have with a
finance/Security Company abroad. I will want you to help me collect
this deposit and dispatch it to charity organizations.
I dont want a situation where this money will be used in an ungodly
manner. Hence the reason for taking this bold decision. I am not
afraid of death hence I know where I am going. I know that I am going
to be in the bossom of the Lord.Exodus 14 VS 14 says that the lord will fight my
case and I shall hold my peace.I shall give you more details once you
reply this mail.
I have set aside 20% for you and for your time .God be with you.
I want you to please reply me through my private email:l_est345@excite.com
The Lord is my Strength
Remain blessed
Loi Estrada
