GREETINGS
This letter may come to you as a surprise due to the fact
that we have not yet met.
I am contacting you to assist me, I have to say that I have
no intentions of causing you any pains as you read this. I
don't want you to feel sorry for me, because, I believe
everyone will die someday.
My name is Mrs. Maryam Forsythe, a merchantress here in
London,presently taking medical treatment. Now, I have been
diagnosed with Endometrial cancer (Cancer of the Uterus)
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 very rich, I was never generous, I was always hostile
to people and only focus 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 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 ($5.5 Million) that I have with a
security firm abroad . I will want you to help me collect
this deposit and dispatched it to charity organizations and
let them know that it is I, Maryam Forsythe 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.
As soon as I received 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 40% of the ($5.5
Million).
Thank you for understanding.
