Subject: Hello and how are you doing?
Dear friend,
My name is Johnson Scott Jr I am 72 years old man. I am from Uk {United Kingdom}. 1 owned 2 businesses in WEST AFRICA. I am married with no children. My wife died in a car accident six years ago.
Since I have no child of my own, i have been helping orphans in orphanage/motherless homes by donating money to them. Presently, i am receiving treatment in a hospital. My doctor told me that i have cancer of the lungs and that I have few months to live.
Before i became ill, I saved some money ($5.5 million dollars) Five million five hundred thousand dollars with a Bank in LAGOS. Please, I beg you to help me collect this money from the bank.
After collecting the money you will now help me to take care of any orphanage home close to you.
You will get 30% of the total sum for your assistance and the remaining money you will give to any orphanage home preferably in Africa.
I am believing that you would offer this service for humanity sake. if you can help me.
Mail me so that i will give you the contact details of the Bank.
Please respond. Just incase i dont respond early enough know that i will be on sick bed.
May the God bless you.
I await your response.
Johnson Scott Jr
