Subject: Re; Funds For Charity Organizations
From Mr. Fred Bemann
My name is Mr. Fred Bemann. I am from Portugal.
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 never really cared
for anyone (not even myself) but my business.
Though I am 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 few
close friends .I want God to be merciful to me and accept my soul so, I have
decided to give arms 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 thirty Million United States Dollars ($30,
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 40% of this funds must go to victims of Tsunami,
Hurricane Katrina , Hurricane Wilma and South Asia Earthquake , 50% to
other Charity Organizations around the World and 10% for your effort and
time.
I cannot talk with you on the phone due to my health situation, as I am
using my Lap Top Computer to communicate with you. You should respond
to this e-mail if you are interested in carrying out this assignment on my
behalf. Please for the sake of confidentiality, only reply via my
private email address
God is with you.
