I have been diagnosed with Esophageal cancer. It has defiled all forms of medical treatment,and right now. I have only about a month 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 theonly 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 make all the money in the world. I believe when God gives me a second chance to cometo 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 so, I have decided to give alms to charity organizations, as IWant 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 Sudan,Thailand and India. 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 eighteen million dollars $18,000,000,00 that I have with a finance company abroad. I will wantyou to help me go there and collect this deposit and dispatched it to charity organizations.I have set aside 20% for you and for your time. Please get back to me as soon as possible with your full contact details, full names,phone and fax numbers as well as your addresss that i can furnish you with the Relevant documents and to get a proof of myself to you Best regards as I wait Your quick response. God be with you. James Butler
	I can not afford to travel anywhere. I will pray that GOD has mercy on your soul for all your harshness towards others for most of your life. I would love to see this money you have donated to cancer research here in the states as my own mother has cancer. I will tell you that this is the second letter of this type I have recieved today. I have spoken to an attorney in your country and they have told me that all you would have to do is to go to your bank and have a certified cashiers check made out into the name of the person that you choose to help you. You then just have to take the check to the UPS Exspress office there and put it into and envelop, seal it and put the persons name and address on it and send it. There are NO insurance papers or anything else that would have to be done. UPS Exspress has stated that they will not ask what you are mailing nor will they look in the envelope. Good luck and may GOD be with you through this horrible disease. Kira Goldstar

In my last email to you I introduced myself and gave you a summary of the present predicament I have found myself and how I lived my life(financial-wise).my failing health has necessitated my present over view of life and the meaning of life itself as it relates to day-to-day living. Even surgery which is a last resort has been done but the cancer has already spread into the stomach and intestines. I will attached some of my personal photos to my next email. It is for this same reason I have randomly searched through the internet email directory to find somebody who has the predisposition to accomplish the task of passing on a privately kept fund of ($18,000,000,00) million dollars to charitable organizations as he or she deems fit, since I cannot do this myself due to my failing health. It was this random search that yielded your contact email address with which I sent you my first email. Note that this was just a probing move to establish contact, because I am sure you know as well as I do that most people would snatch at the offer considering the large amount involved and more also since the disbursement of this fund would be entirely in the hands of the claimant. For this reason I felt that after our initial communication I should be able to determine if we can precede based on certain indices as well as intuitive feeling I would deduce.I hope my first email did not embarrass you? If it did, I apologize for this. The fund in questions is privately kept and I wanted to put it in capable hands for disbursement. Other such funds that I left to my relatives to disburse to charity were all plundered and used for their personal purposes. For this reason I have decided that within the confines of my hospital room and the privacy of my computer (to which I have internet connection) to look for a suitable person to transfer ownership of the deposit to, and after claiming the money, disburse 80% of the $18, 000, 000, 00 to various charitable organizations of your choice in various countries and then retain 20% of the money for your effort. The $18million dollars is physical cash in a private finance/security company in europe. This is not a business proposal and I do not expect any returns or share of the money. I am dying and I have distributed most of my earthly possessions to various individuals, groups and organisations.This deposit of $18 million dollars is the bulk of what is left. It is unknown to my other relatives. If I do not find a suitable person to disburse the funds as I plan to, then on my death the finance/security company holding the deposit would have to notify my next of kin to claim the deposit as stipulated on the deposit agreement. And from what I have seen of how they spent the other funds I designated for the same purpose, leaving the fund in their care would be a colossal waste of all I have worked and lived for. If you would be able to help me fulfill this last living request, I would need you to get back to me on the following issues, 1. That you are in a position to be trusted and GOD fearing person with such a large amount of fund, and that you have a heart for charity and thus would not have any problems locating the right charity and human aid groups to disburse the fund to. It would be nice to know what charities you have in mind to donate the money to. 2. That you are willing to contact the finance company holding the deposit to discuss the terms of releasing the funds to you. 3. That you fully understand this transaction up to this stage and you are ready to proceed under these terms. 4.How old are you and do you have a family? Please send your full contact details, full names,phone and fax numbers as well as your address. I will need to send your contact details to the finance company regarding the release of this funds to you, await your response to the issues raised here.Note i can sit too long on my system becose of my condidtion so i cant chat with you i am very sorry. I await further communication. Yours Faithfully. James Butler
	I would love to help you out and I am truely sorry for the pain that I know you are going through. I would love to donate the money to the cancer reseaches for such cancers as Childhood, breast, lymphosarcoma, and other types as well. I would also like to donate a large sum to my mothers church as they have help out my family when we needed it. I would like to let you see where I donate the money through recepts that I could scan and e-mail back to you so that you would be able to see that we are NOT using your money for our own personal gain. I however do find it weird that you would send me such e-mails as I have had OVER 200 e-mails of this type in just over 3 months so I find it very hard to trust any of them with these stories. I tried to help another couple of people out with similar stories to yours and in the end it turned out that they just wanted my personal information for identity theft and they wanted me to send them money through their "attorney" to "access" the accounts. I will let you know right here and now that if you or your "attorney" require any type of money wheather it be to access the account or to obtain insurance on the check or transfer of money I will NOT be able to help you. All these others that I have tried to help end up sending me an e-mail telling me that they will send me a certain amont of money for my trying to help them and then again they ask me for money to obtain insurance on the check and shipping so I NEVER see any money. If this is ligitamate then by all means contact your attorney and let him/her know that they can obtain a certified cashiers check from your bank in my name and they can send it through UPS Exspress to my mailing address and it will only cost you about $20.00 (us money) to mail the envelop and UPS Exspress will NOT ask what is in the envelope and they will NOT look in it either. You can send the check to my address listed below. I hope that we can together share in the joy of donating your hard earned money to cancer research and to our church. May GOD help you manage your pain and suffering. Kira Goldstar XXXXX, XXXXX NO PHONE OR FAX.

	I can NOT travel anywhere. The trunks would have to be shipped to me here in the states at your exspence. I do NOT have any money. You will need to contact the people that need to be contacted and make the arrangements to have the trunks mailed to me. It is obvious that you can make these arrangement from your hospital room. Just let me know when the trunks will be delivered.

The trunks can be shipped to me here in the states and I will immediately dispurse the money to the church and the cancer society. I will then send you copies of the reciepts from this places so that you can see that I have done what I said that I would do.
