I Thank God that I have seen the light.

My dear friend.

As you read this, I don't want you to feel sorry for me, because, I
believe everyone will die someday.
My name is William John, a merchant in Dubai, in the U.A.E. but
currently undergoing treatment now. I have been diagnosed with Esophageal
Cancer which was discovered very late, due to my laxity in carrying for my
health.
It has defiled all forms of medicine, 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 focus 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
properties and assets to my immediate and extended family members and as
well
as a few close friends.
I want God to be merciful to me and accept my soul and so, I have
decided to give arms to charity organizations and give succor and comfort to
the less privileged in our societies, 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 my self anymore. I once asked members of my family
to close some of my accounts and distribute the money which I have
there to charity organization and to the less privileged in Bulgaria and
Pakistan; they refused and kept the money to themselves. Hence, I do not
trust them anymore and still want to help the needy, as my family
members 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
$12.5 million dollars that I have with a Security Company for safe
keeping. I will want you to help me collect this deposit and disburse it to
some charity organizations and to the less privileged.

Please send me a mail to indicate if you will assist me in this
disbursement.
I have set aside 8% for you in your time and patience.
While I wait to hear from you, may God be with you and your entire
family.

Remain blessed.
William John.

first response

I would love to help. I work for the American Red Cross in New York, and we are always looking to find new ways to assist the Local and International community.

The lord is your strength

Dear Daniel
I am very overwhelmed when I came to hear that you are a Red Cross official. So I believe that; the serve for humanity is always your primary basis.

To me I know that God does his own thing in a special way for his children and that is why I pray as the day passes, that I will not be betrayed by you when you receive this money on my behalf.

However, the vow I took is what I mean to redeem, that is why I need a total assurance from you, that you will remember the less privileged with part of this money as I have
instructed.

I must also bring to your notice that even in my grave my conscience will blame me if my primary intention of releasing this money to you is not achieved. So this I mean. You must help me accomplish as I have decided to carry this cross for my Great creator.

I promise to send to you the fund deposit certificate and every other related document to authenticate this fund and also the bank information where the money is at present.

Finally, I demand you send to me the following:
1. Your direct mobile/telephone number.
2. Your contact address.
3. Occupation, age and full name.

The moment I receive this informations I will tell you the way forward.

Remain blessed.
William John.

I hope that my organization and our partners can help you get this money into the right hands.

The lord is your strength.

Dear Daniel,
I am very impressed with you informations as stated.
I have gone Down my knees in prayer and decided to
concluded this transaction with you as a Red Cross
personel.

I wish to know if you can travel out of your country
to meet with the security company in Europe where the
money is being deposited so that i can send with the
relaed documents for you to make the claim on my
behalf.
Remain Blessed.
William John

Re: Sept: 25th

I'm afraid that I cannot afford airfare to europe and back. If you were able to buy me an e-ticket, I'm sure I could negotiate a few days off from work to help with the transfer.

You mentioned a certificate of authenticity... Is there a way that you can mail me a copy to prove that you have the legal authority to donate the funds? I would hate to get my chapter excited over the idea of a large donation, only to get drowned in red tape.

Also, do you have a preference for organizations that you would like the money given to?
For example, I could give it all to my particular chapter of the red cross, or I could donate it to mine and other local agencies. However, it may be better still to put it towards more globally oriented non-profits, and non-profits from yoru own country. That way you would be giving back to your own community.
It wouldn't be trouble for me to look some up, I am familiar with this sort of thing (we are always makign partnerships with other non-profit agencies). Where are you from, again?
As far as global non-profits, Habitat for humanity has a good relationship with us, and they do good works world wide. I take it by your original letter that you are a religious man. We could put aside a quantity of the money for faith based organizations.

I hope that I can continue to help you with your humanitarian goals. Only by living a virtuous life, can we hope for salvation.
God bless.

Daniel

The lord is your strength. Sep 26

Dear Daniel,
Since you cannot travel to europe with the reason given by you. I will suggest you contact immediately the bank where the money is deposited concerning the money i deposited with them so that we know the way forward.

On my own side i promise to send to you the deposite cetificate issued to me as the money was deposited with them.

So contact this bank immediately;

Cosplan Trust Security Bank plc Customers Service Phone +447024099880 Fax : +447005938892 cosplan.bank@yahoo.co.uk http://www.cosplantrustbank.co.uk.tp/

So i need to hear from you for us to proceed.

Remain Blessed
Larisa

Re: Sep 26

Okay. I will contact them, and let them know your name (is it William John, or Larisa?) And that you are interested in wiring some money to me for donation to charitable organizations.

Do I need any additional information? Account numbers, Addresses?
A photocopy of the Deposite certificate would be fine, just so I know this is all "on the level," as they say.

Good morning! (I think it's evening where you are)...
I received contact from the Cosplan Bank this morning.
In order to continue our transaction, they are requiring the following:

1. Fund deposit certificate issued in respect of the
said fund with us, stating the date and amount
deposited with us.
2. Affidavit of claim from the Federal High court of
the country of the despondent which is the area of the
jurisdiction.
3. Your international passport.

I have no problem with the passport, but the other items I will need to get from you.
Can you please mail them to me, at the address I gave you?

You haven't mentioned how you would like the money donated. Do you have a preference of organization? An emphasis on faith-based versus non faith based humanitarian organizations?
How is your cancer treatment going? I looked it up on the internet, and it looks like there are a lot of options for people with your condition. None of them will cure you, but there are treatments to prolong life.

Good luck, and God Bless!

Dear Daniel,
I was trying to reply your first mail to correct the
mistake of the name before I went in to take my
medication.
The name” Larisa” is the name of the
nurse that normally encourage me that i should not
loose hope that my God will see me through if i should
believe in my faith.

However, concerning the requirements from the bank as
you have just mention I know i can send to you the
fund deposit and also the authorization note ok.

But about the affidavit of claim which will sworn in
the law court is the only thing that i know that will
be a little problem as i can not go round for it
because of my present state of health.

So all I need we do now is that we have to put our
minds together to achieve this since this is just what
the bank need.

I i will have to contact attorney concerning the
affidavit but I know it will cost us some little
money.
So I need to hear from you assuring to assist just for
the affidavit only. Once I hear from you I will
inquire from my attorney on the cost of swearing the
affidavit,

Remain blessed.

I work for a non-profit agency myself, so I'm hardly wealthy, but if it's just a few bucks I should be able to spare it. Can you promise reimbursement?

I would really appreciate it if you could take care of the fees yourself. I'm cutting it really close this month with rent, groceries, and riflery training for my daughter... it's been a long time since I've had any money to save.

I take my daughter for weekend classes in marksmanship and survival at the local firing range. It gets her away from videogames, and she can interract with kids her own age, as well as learn valuable skills. She's very good with a rifle (only with parental supervision!!) and when she gains some weight, I promised her she could move up to a larger one than the .22. But larger rifles have more expensive bullets. But I've always managed to keep food on the table before, so I'm not too worried.

Do you have any children?

Dear Daniel,
I quite appreciate your mail because without being
told you sound very real and natural unlike my close
relative who will prefer being self centered as I
never could believe in this wide world.

Talking about reimbursement, you have nothing to worry
about because I can see that you are very sincere to
me and i promise that you will never live to regret
it.

i quite appreciate and will always encourage you to to
give your daughter the best of training and love just
as you have explained to me because our children is
always our pride. On my own side my sorry has been on
the negative because i lost my wife, my two sons and
daughter in ghastly auto accident years back.

This particular incident is what I hate to remember
any time of my life because if I had them around me I
don't think my insincere and selfish relations
wouldn't have taken advantage of me concerning my
wealth. So I must say here that you are my classiest
and trusted relation with the extent you have proved
your self to me.

I have been able to contact my attorney concerning the
affidavit, which I know it is the only expenses we are
to run in the cost of this transfer, and he confirmed
to me that it would cost us 2,300 UK pounds.

So I would want us to tackle this issue very urgent so
that we will get the affidavit so that I send it to
you among other documents for you to send them to the
paying bank to facilitate the transfer process. Like i
told you I would always pay you back once you
receive the money apart from the 8%, which I have
promised to give you from the money.

Finally, I take you as my blood bother. So in the same
vein I would like you to suggest way we could disburse
this money. So use your experience as a red cross
official to get the best charity organization or even
create one around the USA, ASIA ,EUROPE or even AFRICA
as the case may be.

Expecting to hear from you urgently.
Remain Blessed.
William John

Re: (treat as urgent)

Daniel Hoffmann
to William

Oh my goodness! You are giving me 8% of the 12 million dollars? That's $960,000.
That's nearly 1,920,000 tacos! That's 32,000 bottles of Grey Goose vodka (yum!)!

I have never imagined that I could be wealthy! Oh my gracious! My family has been living on a rotating diet of Macaroni and Cheese, Fish sticks, Top Ramen, and Spam for the past 3 months inorder to make ends meet. I have been skipping lunch all week because I have to buy new shoes. I would be able to put my daughter into a private school, instead of having her homeschooled with the Butcher's children down the street! (His wife is very smart, but she is on lexopro, and prone to inappropriate outbursts). God bless you!!!

$2300 UK, is that about $1000?
I don't have nearly that much money, but I think I can ask friends and family members to loan me parts! I would totally pay them back, and get the great presents!

With the remainder of the sum, I could start our own non profit organization! "The William Johnson Center for the Unfed," or something. What are the pressing issues in your country that you would like to help with? I am dedicated to humanity, so I would be willing to see this through to it's inevitable completion!

Thank you for trusting me with this noble goal, I won't disappoint you.

Yours truly,
Daniel Hoffmann

To Cosplan: You' can't email a real document!

Daniel Hoffmann to Cosplan
Dear Bank,
I have no way to email you my passport because it is a real document. We have a photocopier at work, so I guess the best I can do is mail it to your physical address.
Can you please reply with your mailing address, and the name of the personnel who will be receiving it? I want to make sure my sensetive information goes only into the right hands.

Take care, and god bless!

A Correction of the Sum

William John to me

Dear Daniel,
Thank you for your reply. I must bring to yopur
notice that Goid wil alwys see his children through
because I believe He has a grreater reason and purpose
for his children.

Talking about the amount for the affidavit, I told you
that i confirmed from my attorney that it will cost us
2,300 GBP(Great Britain Pound) which is $4306.405
USD(United States Dollar)
So Let there be no misconceptions. Personally I know
that money may be very hard from you to raise but i
think it is for our mutual good and I promise i I
will always renburse you from no matter any where you
can borrow this money so that we can ssend it to the
bank to effect the transfer to you. So I encourage
you to try your possible best.

I will be glad to hear from you positvely soi that
every thing concerning this trnascation will be
concluded by next week at most.

Reman Blessed.

Good News!

Good news!
I spoke with friends and family this weekend, and in conjunction with the contents of my own savings, I was able to get $1200! I know it's not the full amount, but I have yet to speak to my step father.
My step father is very wealthy, and like you, has lived a reprehensible life. However, he has never made any effort at reformation, and is a professed atheist! He even has one of those "Jesus" Fish on the back of his car, but it's empty, as if to say that he believes in NOTHING. He has made his money as a manager of two tire recycling sited in New York, and divorced his first wife the moment she started showing signs of a mental illness (He has no loyalty to his friends or family). As my own step father, he was strict, and frequently passed up the belt, and preferred to instead use a plastic pipe he kept by the back door. Needless to say, I grew up well disciplined, and moved out as soon as I turned 18. I think by promising him a significant fraction of the 8% share, he may agree to help.
(BTW secret: every year on my birthday I drop off old tires with metal rebar inside them in hopes that it will break his machines!)

There is one more simple issue that must be addressed. A friend of mine (and significant financial contributor) has warned me that there are many viruses and hoaxes on the internet. I assured him that you and I have had good conversations, but he says that they have computers now that can talk just like people (he has had AOL since 1998 and knows a lot about computers)! We talked it over, and decided that the only way to prove that you are a real person (and not a computer) is to receive a hand written letter.

I'm not saying that I don't trust you. We've shared a lot in thes past two weeks (I too consider you a blood brother. I see in you the same passion for humanity that I try to live every day.) But this little formality is the only thing that will convince my friend to let me send you the money for the affidavit.
I know that you don't have easy access to your funds now (them being stuck in a secret account!) But I can even reimburse you for the cost of overseas postage. (Just add it to the cost of the affidavit!)

I hope that you will not take offense, and will understand that in these certain and dangerous times, when trusted with his friends' money, a person can never be too careful.

I keep you in my Prayers, and wish for your miraculous recovery.
Your Brother, Daniel.

BTW, in addition to the affidavit, we also need a copy of the deposit certificate (any quality will do) to send to Mr. Kelvin at the Cosplus Bank.

God Bless!

I commend you your trust of me.

William John to me

Dear Mr. Daniel,
Thank you very much for your reply as sent. Now as a
matter of fact I would have replied you your mail but
for the fact that my ill health is increasing daily
that was why I could not help it than to reply you
this late.

I must not fail you ask you more of your self and you
daughter whom I have always encouraged you to give the
best of training as your pride.

However, I can see that maybe your friends are trying
to have doubts about this issue but on your own side I
will try and send the hand written letter to you as
you have demanded.
More so, I must let you know that trust is the basis
for every success. And I must also commend you for
you pronouncement concerning your trust on me.

In the interim, I need to have you full postal address
or do I send it through your office address.
And for the fund deposit certificate I don't know what
you mean by sending any how certificate to the bank
please I need all these clarifications so that I know
the way forward.

Remain Blessed,


William John

Homeopathic Remedies Really Work!

Daniel Hoffmann to William

My grand sympathies for your failing health. Have you considered Homeopathic remedies? For thousands of years people have successfully treated even the gravest of illnesses with natural and organic remedies. (This is why people live so long in teh bible!) A good friend of mine is a certified herbalist, and she recommends St. John's Wort for problems with the stomach and throat. My daughter has recently fallen ill with stomach pains, and we are treating her quite successfully with the Wort.

I spoke with my step father, and in exchange for 4% of your fortune, he is willing to give me an additional $1500. I don't know that I am willing to make that agreement, knowing full well the poor strength of his character. He told me that he would spend the money to open an animal shelter in his neighborhood, so that he could euthanize stray cats and dogs. And buy a larger home (loathsome!), but it would expedite our process. What do you think?

Can you estimate how long the transaction will take?
I ask, because I find that I qualify for a credit card online with a high interest rate (25%!) but it allows me to get cash from it. The initial credit line is $1000, so that will put me within just a few hundred dollars of our goal. However, I will have to pay $250 each month until I get it paid off. How long will it take to transfer the money?

The best way for a letter to reach me is to
"Daniel Hoffman"
430 Madeline Dr. Pasadena, Ca 91105.

I have tried receiving letters at my stepfather's address, but he frequently loses them, or throws them away, saying "I am too old to be receiving mail."

As far as the Deposit statement goes, it is one of the requirements of the bank in order to authorize the transaction. I must send them a copy of my US passport, a copy of the Deposit Statement, and a copy of the Affidavit.

You can send the Deposit Statement to the same Address, either with your letter, or afterwards, but it must arrive before we can authorize the transaction.

Did you have pleasant dreams last night? I prayed for them for you!
-Daniel
