FROM:Mr.Gat Butu
DATE:18/Nov./2006
Kindest Attention:
Dear Beloved,
know this email will come to you in an odd manner as you
have not
rece99ved any prior communication from me before now.But be
that as it
may.
My name is Mr.Gat Butu, 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 wantingto 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 alms 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 U.A.E, Somalia 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 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 a Finance Vaulting Unit
Abroad. I will want you to help me collect this deposit and dispatch
it
to charity organizations.
N/B:
Kindly note that 35% of this funds
must
go to the tsunami victims,60% to other Charity Organization 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{gatubutu@aim.com} if you
are
interested in carrying out this assignment on my behalf.
God be
with you.
Mr.Gat Butu.
