Subject: can i trust you ?
Dear Friend,
Greetings to you and Please permit me to introduce myself. I am Mr.Aalikia
Aaron, SAUDI National and a crude oil Merchant Before I was diagnosed with
esophageal cancer, which has defied all medical solutions, and according to
medical experts I only have a few more months to live. As you read this you
do not have to feel sorry for me as it is a universal truth that we all must
die someday, the only problem with mine though being that I have
particularly not lived my life well in spite of my wealth and possessions as
I never really cared for anyone (not even myself) but my business. Though I
was very rich I was never generous, I was never caring about people but only
dedicated my time and resources on my business, as that was the only thing I
cared about.
But now I regret all this as I now know that there is more to life than just
accumulating all the wealth in the world as I lay helplessly on my sick bed.
If I was given a second chance to live again I make sure i would live my
life a different way from how I have lived it owing to what has befallen me
now. As my last days alive are drawing closer and closer I have already
willed out most of my properties and assets to my immediate and extended
family members as well as a few close friends. I also want my soul to be at
peace with God and for him to be merciful on me and accept my soul and to
this regard I have resolved to give my remaining funds to charity
organizations as I want this to stand as one of the last deeds I indulge in
on earth before I die. Though I have already distributed money to some
charity organizations, Now that my health has deteriorated so badly I can no
longer continue with this myself and also I do not trust my immediate family
members or close friends on this as I have once asked them to close one of
my accounts and distribute the funds there in to charity organizations in
Bulgaria,Sri-Lanka India and Pakistan they greedily kept the money to
themselves. Hence I am contacting you with this as I have lost confidence in
them because it is obvious they are not contended with what I have left for
them.
The last of my funds which no one knows of is a cash deposit of Three
Million five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($3,500000) stashed in one trunk box
and declared as Personal effects of high security value which I have with a
finance/Security Company. All I am asking of you is to assist me in making
the collection of this deposit and dispatching the funds to any charity of
your choice after keeping 20% of the funds for yourself and your family.10%
of these funds should be to cover any expenses that might be incurred in the
process of making this claims. Please contact me as soon as you get this
email if you are capable and sincere to handle this transaction on my behalf
so I can forward you with all relevant documents necessary for the claims
and the name of the security firm where the funds are deposited. Please
inform me as soon as possible if you are not interested so I can proceed to
seek for someone else to carry out this on my behalf.Get back to me through
my private email (aalikia111@yahoo.com ) Please your earliest response to
this letter will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Mr.Aalikia Aaron.
