Subject: This is For Charity
*Dear Friend,
This letter may come to you as a surprise due to the fact that we have
not yet met.
After searching through your country's Chamber of Commerce and industry
here in London I am contacting you to assist me, I have to say that I
have no intentions of causing you any pain as you read this.
I don't want you to feel sorry for me, because, I believe everyone will
die someday. My name is Albany Code Jr., a merchant here in London,
presently taking medical treatment. now, I have been diagnosed with
Prostate and Esophageala cancer that was discovered very late due to my
uncaring attitude for my health. It has defiled all form of medicine and
right now, I have only about a few months to live according to medical
experts. To be frank with you, I have not particularly lived my life so
well, as I never really cared for anyone not even myself but my business
and money. Though I am wealthy, 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 I
know my time is almost up, I have willed and given most of my
properties and assets to my immediate and extended family members and as
well
as a few close friends. 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 here in
UK, United Arab Emirates and Ireland. Now that my health has
deteriorated so badly, I cannot do this my self any more. I once asked
members of
my family to close one of my accounts and donate the money which I
have there to some charity organizations in Bulgaria, they refused and
kept the money to themselves. Hence, I do not trust them anymore, as they
seem not to be content with what I have left for them.
The last of my money is the huge cash deposit ($16million) that I have
with a security firm. I will want you to help me collect this deposit
and dispatched it to charity organizations and let them know that it is
I, Mr. Albany Code Jr. that is making this generous donation. I am
writing this from my laptop computer in my hospital bed where I wait for my
time to come.
You can reply me through my private email address:

As soon as I receive your sincere response, I will hence give you all
the necessary details of how this can be done. I pray that you will
support and assist me with good heart so that I can be able to achieve my
goal. If you accept to help me do this, I promise you a reward of 30% of
the ($16m).
Thank you for understanding.
Mr. Albany Code Jr.
