Dear Friend,
This letter may come to you as a surprise due to the fact
that we have not met personally. My name is Jean Niddle, a business
merchant in Indonesia.I was a victim of the TSUNAMI disaster that led
over 174,000 people dead in Indonesia’s Aceh province.

Well, I lost
all my family members and was seriously injured as a result of this
catastrophe and currently hospitalised in Germany. My illness has
defiled all form of medical treatment and I only have about a few
months to live according to medical report. I have not particularly
lived my life so well, as I never really cared for anyone not even
myself but my business. But now I regret all these as I now know that
there is more to life than just wanting to have or make all the money
in this world. Now that I know my time is near, I want to will and give
most of my properties and assets to you to enhance the relief of other
Asian Tsunami Victims and other charity aid. I have decided to give
alms for charity aid, as I want this to be one of the last good deeds I
do on earth. But i am afraid most of these charity organisations will
use it for their personal interests without someone to co-ordinate this
task.

Hence, i am seeking a trust-worthy person who is able to help
me carry out this great task. Now that my health has deteriorated so
badly, I cannot do this my self any more. I lost alot of money,
assests, properties, etc due to this disaster. Meanwhile, i still have
16,500,000.00 USD only) cash deposit that I have with a Financial Firm
Abroad. I will want you to help me collect this deposit and dispatched
it for humanitarian aid. Also, you will let them know that it is I Jean
Niddle that is making this generous donations to them to serve as
memorial while I was on earth. I am writing this from my laptop
computer in my hospital bed where I wait for my time to come. I pray
that God uses you to support and assist me with good heart. Also, these
are the necessary criteria you have to meet before I will give you the
full authority over the fund:

(a). My conviction of your transparent,
honesty and diligence and you will treat this transaction as I have
instructed you to do. (b). Upon the receipt of the funds, you will
promptly release $3,500,000.00 USD to charity aid to help the needy,
$11,500,000 USD will be used for investment and you will ONLY take the
balance $1,500,000.00 USD for your noble assistance.

(c). You must be
ready to produce me with enough information about yourself to put my
mind at rest, by providing your full beneficiary name, your contact
address, telephone and fax numbers for further communication. (d)All
necessary legal documentations must be undertaken before you can have
the full right over this fund and other properties which i will give to
you in due course. (e) Also, you will be entitle to 20% of the annual
income of any investment you wish to go into in rder to enhance further
charitable work. I would suggest that you can invest this money into
stocks, properties, bonds, etc. or any lucrative business you may
suggest.

I will bring you into the complete picture of the
transaction when I have heard from you.Your urgent response will be
highly appreciated with all your contact details.

Thanks for your
anticipated cooperation and God bless you.

Yours faithfully, Jean
Niddle.
