Just be kind

From: John .C. Rannard - rannard101@sify.com

Dear friend,

How are you doing today? As you read this, I don't want you to feel sorry for me, because, I believe everyone will die someday. My name is John .C. Rannard a merchant in Europe and Africa. 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 a few close friends. I want God to be merciful to me and accept my soul so, I have decided to give also to charity organizations, 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 Europe and Africa. 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 that 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 that no one knows of is the huge cash deposit of Twenty million USD that I have with a finance/Security Company abroad. I will want you to help me collect this deposit and dispatch it to charity organizations. I have set aside 10% for you and for your time. Upon your reply to my email, I will send to you pictures of me on my sick bed here in the hospital. You can send down your private email box address.

I await your urgent response.

God be with you,

John .C. Rannard.
