Dear Friend,
Greetings to you. My name is Mrs. Anita Brunet widow to late Mr. John Mack Brunet former owner of Petroleum & Gas Company here in Kuwait. I am 65 years old, suffering from long time Cancer of the breast. From all indications my condition is really deteriorating and its quite obvious that I won’t live more than 2 months according to my doctors. This is because the cancer stage has gotten to a very bad stage. I dont want your me pity me, but I need your assistance and trust.
My late husband died early last year from Heart attack, and during the period of our Marriage we couldn’t produce any child. My late husband was very wealthy and after his death, I inherited all his business and wealth. The doctor has advised me that I will not live for more than 2 months, so I have now decided to spread all my wealth, to contribute mainly to the development of charity in Africa, America, Asia and Europe. Am sorry if you are embarrassed by my mail. I found your e-mail address in the web directory, and i have decided to contact you, but if for any reason you find this mail offensive, please you can ignore it and please accept my apology.
Before my late husband died he was major oil tycoon, in Kuwait and deposited the sum of Twelve million six hundred thousand dollars ($12.6 Million Dollars) in a Finance Bank in Europe some years ago, that all he had left for now, I need you to collect this funds and distribute it yourself to charity, so that when I die my soul can rest in peace. The funds will be entirely in hands and management. I hope God gives you the wisdom to touch many lives. That is my main concern. 20% of this money will be for you, time and effort, while 80% goes to charity. I will appreciate your assistance for these projects. Please reply back to me on this e-mail: brunetanita@aim.com>
God bless you.
Best Regards,
Mrs. Anita Brunet
