Subject: My dearest one,
My dearest one,
My name is Mat Johnson, a business merchant in Dubai , Arab. I have been
diagnosed with Cancer which was discovered very late, due to my laxity in
caring for my health. It has defiled all forms of medicine, Right now I have
only about a few months to live, according to my Medical Doctor. I have not
particularly lived my life so well, as I never really cared for myself but
the oil business. Though I am very rich, I was never generous, I 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 so much believe that if God gives me a second chance and heal me I would
live my life a different way from how I have lived it. I have sowed a seed
for my healing 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 pray that God will be merciful on me and accept my soul , I have decided
to give arms to charity organizations and give comfort to the less
privileged of the Tsunami Victims, as I want this to be one of the last
good deeds I do on earth.
So many occasions i have distributed money to some charity organizations in
India and Malaysia . Now that my health has deteriorated so badly, I cannot
do this my self anymore. I once asked members of my family to close one of
my accounts in Saudi Bank and distribute the money which I have there to
charity organization and to the less privileged in Bulgaria and Sudan Africa
They cashed the money but kept it only to themselves From now hence, I do
not trust them anymore, as they seem not to be contended with what I have
left for them already.
The last of my money which no one knows of is the huge cash deposit of
twenty two million dollars $ 22 million that I have in the Vault of a
financial company in Europe for safe keeping. I want you to collect this
deposit on my behalf and disburse it to the Tsunami Earthquake victims in
Asia for the less privileged.
I have set aside 20% for you for your time and efforts. I need your
urgent reply so that I will not have to go on searching for an incredible
person to handle this project.
If you are okay with the condition, do not hesitate to send me mail to (
matjohnson013@yahoo.fr<http://uk.mc274.mail.yahoo.com/mc/compose?to=matjohnson013@yahoo.fr>)
so that i will furnish you up with all the information's needed. I will wait
to hear from you.
May almighty God bless you for your understanding
Mat Johnson.
