From . Mr. Gabriel Duarte.

Kindest Attention:

My name is Mr. Gabriel Duarte. 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 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 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 and those in Need, 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
when I was well. 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 United States, Asia, Middle East &
Europe, 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 Ten Million United States Dollars
($10, 000, 000.00) that I have with an Asset
Management / Vaulting Company Abroad. I will want you
to help me collect this deposit and dispatch it to
charity organizations and use it to help those in Need.

N/B:Kindly note that 40% of this funds must go to
victims of Tsunami, Hurricane Katrina , Hurricane
Wilma and South Asia Earthquake , 55% to other Charity
Organizations around the World 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 if you are interested in carrying out this
assignment on my behalf.

God be with you.

Mr. Gabriel Duarte.
