Never been addressed as Dear Beloved before but I thought I would help this poor chap out seeing that he has such a bunch of dastardly relatives. I am sure it must be genuine! And a financial opportunity too good to pass up.

Dear Beloved,

This letter may come to you as a surprise due to the fact that we have not yet met. Firstly, I have to say that I have no intentions of causing you any pain. My name is Mr. Eric Schmidt, a European merchant. I have been diagnosed with Prostate and Esophageal cancer that was discovered very late due to lack of caring for my health. It has defiled all form 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 use to say to my self that if God should give me a second chance I would live differently from how I have lived. I was meditating on my hospital bed and something told me that God is giving me a second chance by keeping me alive though doctors said I won't last long. I know my time is near, that's why I have willed and given most of my properties and assets to my immediate and extended family members as well as some few close friends. So far, I have been able to give alms to a few charity organizations in the U.A.E, London, Sudan, Zimbabwe I gave donations to the Global Fund for Children, GCF and I met two people over the Internet that have successfully distributed my funds to charity organizations in their country. Now my health is deteriorating so badly, I really need you to help me distribute the last of my fortune. I want this to be one of the last good deeds I do on earth.

You might be wondering why I did not pick my close relatives for this task, but I once asked members of my family to close one of my accounts and donate the money there to a charity organization in Bulgaria. They closed the account but refused to donate the money to the organization, but instead shared the money amongst themselves. From the way they are acting around me, something tells me they want me dead so they can split my last remaining assets and money. 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 is a huge cash deposit that I have with a security firm will be put in your care if only you will agree and are capable of seeing this through. I want you to help me collect this deposit and dispatched it to charity organizations of your choice and let them know that it is I, Mr. Eric Schmidt, that is making this generous donation. I am writing this from my laptop computer in my hospital bed where I wait for my time to come. I pray for you to support and assist me with a good heart. I hope we can build a relationship based on trust because I want to do this by all means possible before I die. But the choice is yours. Please you can contact me through the below email address:

Eric Schmidt

He's defiantly a merchant, just not the type of merchant he thinks he is

Should this be moved to Jokes, The Pub, The Trash?

 

Answers on a postcard to ........

The only reason why these scam letters are still circulating is that there are scores of gullible people out there who are too greedy or too naive to see through the charade - or both. A constant stream of twits who think they can have a free lunch.

 

My bet is that Dr. Eric Schmidt's real name is Malumbo Okolelo, or something similar.

Much better style and grammar than the Nigerians, give him a + for that. Should have mentioned a few million euros, gold bars or something concrete as incentive.

OP, no need to respond to Mr Schmidt as I've already accepted his offer...for a mere transfer of $1000 to his account he will be sending me a chest of money...this was my lucky day indeed--and of course for the charities I will be giving the money to.  Can't wait for the chest to show-up...wonder if Thai customs will apply a 30% import duty?

I have been notified of several large wins on lotteries I have never bought a ticket for. Now if you can't get past that connection then sadly you are likely to fall for any scam.

Probably send to thousands of people, a valid email address is worth about 1 Euro. so maybe he is making a mailing list.

100% nothing good for you

Sounds legit to me.  LOL....

Charity begins at home, my home.

I actually worked with a guy that really believed that a relative of his he never heard of had died and cash was being sent to him hidden in a box of old clothes to avoid tax.

Sent from my SM-N7505 using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app

not many nigerians named eric schmidt......cut out the racist comments.

I wake to at least one if these emails each morning. Gotta admit, it makes me feel, well, beloved.
