From: "JOHN BEN" <johnben01@funmail.co.za>
Date: Sun, 06 Apr 2008 10:04:12 +0000
Subject: Dear Friend,
Dear Friend,
As you read this, I don't want you to feel sorry forme, because, I
believe everyone will die someday.
My name is John a merchant in Dubai, in the U.A.E. I worked with Kuwait
oil Company and eight years as acontractor. I have been diagnosed with
Esophageal cancer.It has defiled allforms of medical treatment, and righ
tnow I have only about a few months to live,according to medical
experts.
I have not particularly lived my life so well, as Iever really caredfor
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 tothis world Iwould
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 almso to charity organizations, as I want this to
be one of thelast good deeds I do on earth. So far, I have distributed
money to some charity organizations in theU.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
afinance/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 beused in an ungodly
manner. Hence the reasons 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
inthe bosom 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:
john_ben03@live.com
The Lord is my Strength
Regards
Mr, John Ben
