My name is Mr. Bill Gallagher. 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 , 55% to other Charity Organizations around the World and
5% 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.
NB: Please for the
sake of confidentiality, only reply via my private and secured email address

God be with you.
Mr Bill Gallagher.
