This is one of the most despicable messages of all!

If you have been following the Crime Online Blog for some time you will have seen this message a couple of times already.

To tell the truth I am not surprised that it keeps on cropping up. I has all the ingredients, a regretfull millionaire who wants to save his money from his greedy family and give it all to charity. And, if you help him you get some of the loot too!

I wonder how many have fallen for this one over the years.

Hello Friend,

Your first reaction to this mail will be total rejection, scare and may be disbelief, owning largely to the atrocities people commit these days.

But this mail comes from a devastated, sorrowful and emotional laden soul that needs compassion from a kind and good spirited person to wipe away my tears and appropriate my dream and humanitarian gesture.

As you read this, I don't want you to feel sorry for me, because, I believe everyone dies someday.My name is Harry Smith a merchant in Dubai,in the U.A.E.I worked with Zambian Ministry of Mining and Resources for eight years as a contractor,I have been diagnosed with Esophageal cancer .It has defiled all forms of medical treatment,I am very worried as the doctors have informed me that its terminal.

I don't know how much time I have left on earth, hence this mail to you.I have not particularly lived my life well, as I never really cared for anyone 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 a few close friends.

I want God to be merciful to me and accept my soul hence, I 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,Algeria 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 content with what I have left for them.

The last of my money which no one knows of is the huge cash deposit of $2,000,000,00 that I have with a finance/Security Company abroad. I will want you to help me collect this deposit and dispatch it to charity organizations.

I have set aside 20% for you and for your time.

God be with you.
Harry Smith.
