Dearest Beloved,
I am Thomas James., A Portuguese national,I was browsing and I saw
your e-mail, So i decided to write you if your e-mail is real, 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. I am very rich, but was never generous; I have given most of my
assets to my immediate family members.
I have decided to give alms to charity organizations. I cannot do
this myself anymore because of my health. I once asked members of my
family to give some money to charity organizations, they refused and
kept the money. I have a huge cash deposit of six Million dollars with
a security firm in America. I will want you to help me collect this
deposit and dispatch it to charity organizations. You will take out
20% of these funds for your assistance.
I will like you to acknowledge the receipt of this e-mail as soon as
possible and treats with absolute confidentiality and sincerity.
Thomas James
