Unlike the usual 419 scam mails, “Jose Patrick” did not state the
amount of money that is involved in the scam though he claims that he
is “rich”. That is normally a “mistake” because people don’t like to read long junk mails unless they see some big numbers. But due to the widespread 419 scams, most experienced surfers will treat either mails as scams, with or without the amount of money stated.
He claims to be donating to charity and has recruited 2 other helpers from the internet. Now his family wants him dead, and he urgently needs someone to help him donate money to charity organisation?
Do you think a really rich man, needs a total stranger from the internet to help him distribute money to the charity? The hospital can surely use some of the money to give free treatment to the poor.
This is a scam. We certainly hope that the whole story is real, especially the part that he is dying. 😀

Dear friend,
This
letter may come to you as a surprise due to the fact that we have
not yet
met. I have to say that I have no intentions of causing you
any pains. My
name is Mr. Jose Patrick, a merchant in London, but taking
treatment in
Ireland. now 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.
Recently,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
and as well as some few close friends. I have decided to give alms
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 the U.A.E, London and Ireland. And I have also met
two
people on the net who have helped me distribute money 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.
You might be wondering why I did not ask my close relatives to
pick
over this task. But I once asked members of my family to close one of
my
accounts and donate the money, which I have there to
charity
organizations in Bulgaria ; they closed the account but refused to
donate
the money to the organizations, some of them even fled away with
some of
the money while the rest shared the remaining among money
among
themselves. From the way they are acting around me tells that they
want
me dead so that they can talk about inheritance.
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 abroad will be put in your
care if only you will
agree.
I want you to help me collect this deposit and dispatched it to
charity
organizations and let them know that it is I Jose Patrick 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. But the
choice is
yours

Be
blessed my beloved,
Jose Patrick
