My Dear Friend,
Greetings to you and your family, in my search for a reliable someone,
I got your contact through painstaking effort. I have decided to seek
your help in carrying out my last wishes. My name is Dennis Platt.
I’m a 65 years old man and a British living in Dubai.
I was a merchant and owned two businesses in Dubai. I was also married
with two children. My wife and two children died in a car accident six
years ago. Before this happened my business and concern for making
money was all I live for. I never really cared about other values in
life. But since the loss of my family, I have found a new desire to
assist helpless families. I have been helping orphans in
orphanage/motherless homes. I have also donated some money for
humanitarian needs.
I was moved with great pity and compassion that I decided to make a
contribution on assisting people over there before I felt ill, I kept
$15 million in a Long-term deposit account in a finance company in
Europe. Presently, I’m in a hospital where I have been undergoing
treatment for Esophagus cancer. I have since lost my ability to talk
and my doctors have told me that I have only a few months to live. It
is my last wish to see this money GET distributed to victims of the
fire outbreak in Australia and other charity organizations. II beg you
to help me collect
the deposit and the interest accrued from the company in Europe and
distribute it accordingly.
Use your judgment to distribute the money and keep 30% of it to
yourself.
Feel free to reimburse yourself when you have the money for any cost
you incur during the process of collecting and distributing the
money. If you are willing to help, please reply.
Regards,
Dennis Platt
