Subject: I NEED YOUR URGENT RESPONSE
Hello My Good Friend,
As you read this, I don't want you to feel sorry for me, because, I believe
everyone will die someday. My names are Albert Dickson,my country of origin
is Dubai,United Arab Emirate but a merchant in lagos nigeria.
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. I have willed and given most of my
property and assets to my immediate and extended family members as well as a
few close friends.
I want God to be merciful to me and accept my soul so, I have decided to give
also 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 in the Kuwait,Algeria and Malaysia. 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 Bulgaria and
Pakistan; they refused and kept the money to themselves. Hence, I do not
trust them anymore, as they seem not to be contempt with what I have left for
them. The last of my money which no one knows of is the huge cash deposit of
eighteen million dollars $18, 000,000, 00 that I have with a Finance/Security
Company.
I will want you to help me collect/receive this deposit and dispatched it to
charity organizations. You can also reply me on my direct email address
of(albertdicks23@gmail.com) for confidentiality as I'll be awaiting
your response, as I have set aside 25% for you for your honesty and also to
cover your domestic expenses, you might incurred during the cause of this
project.
Warm Regards
Albert Dickson.
