Doesn't this just tear your heart out and make you want to go out and help this poor tourtured soul. It amazes me that people will fall for this.
Greetings to you,
As you read this, I don't want you to feel sorry for me, because, I believe everyone will pass on someday everyone eventually has appointment with death. My name is Devin Campbell a merchant in Dubai, United Arab Emirate (U.A.E).
I have been diagnosed with lung 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 am in a private ward in a private hospital here in the United Kingdom). 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. 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 the U.A.E, Algeria and Malaysia. 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, which 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 contented with what I have left for them. The last of my money, which no one knows of, is the huge cash deposit of $18 Million Dollars that I have with a Security Company abroad. I will want you to help me collect/receive this deposit and dispatched it to charity organizations.
I will like to inform you that for all your time, effort and sincere honesty you will be given 10% of the funds, this is from the depth of my heart.
I'll be awaiting your quick response.
Yours faithfully,
Devin Campbell.

Did I miss something? It probably is some kind of scam, but he never asks for you to send him any money.
A few years ago I received an email from some exiled African prince (he wouldn't have said it if it weren't true) offering several thousand dollars to let him hide his multi-million dollar fortune in my bank account. All I had to do was send him my bank routing number and account number and he would handle everything. At least he was honest about the last part.

This is a lead letter once they have you hooked in the ask for upfront money. All scams evolve as people learn this is just an evolved scam.

I always write them back and offer them a deal on some Ocean front property in Arizona. It's prime land that just needs some money for development..........:D

Greetings to you,
Thanks for your mail and your concern. In my last mail to you i introduced myself and gave you a summary of the present predicament i have found myself and how i lived my life (financial-wise).
My failing health has necessitated my present overview of life and the meaning of life itself as it relates to day-to-day living. Even surgery, which is a last resort, has been done but the cancer has already spread into the stomach and intestines.
Find attached pictures of my present health status under Intensive care unit on my hospital bed, May Almighty God accept my soul. It is for this same reason I have randomly searched to find somebody who has the predisposition to accomplish the task of passing on a privately kept fund of US$18 million dollars to charitable organisations as he or she deems fit, since i cannot do this myself due to my failing health.
I do not intend to give you any specific list of charities or who to give the money to. I am leaving that to your discretion. As long as the money touches as many lives as possible. I may not know the specific people that would eventually receive the aid and benefits, but I would be satisfied knowing that lives have been touched and changed through my assistance. It’s like feeding the birds; you do not need to know them or where they come from. You just derive pleasure knowing that you have provided food to living creatures that would be happier and better for it. That is the way life should be. This is my new approach to life and existence.
By way of further introduction, before my illness I was a successful businessman running a private accounting firm that managed accounts for some major league players in the United Arab Emirate economy and I invested greatly into commodity trading. My wife died two years ago in a car accident and I have no children of my own. It’s also nice to hear that you are having more fates in what I am saying to you. Lying on my sick bed sometimes I have realised that nothing is too uncertain to be true. Two years ago, if I had been told that I would find myself in this condition I would have doubted it. Now it is for real and I have to cope with it. My illness has changed my approach to life and how things work. Ordinarily I could have one of my relatives to handle this issue, but I wanted it to be random as it is even very hard to trust them again after all they have done. More so, there are a lot of random energy that make up life itself. Some call this fate and some call it destiny. The same factor brought me cancer and it is now bringing you a unique opportunity to be of service to mankind. That is the way it works.
Most of my wealth and possession have already been given to various charities or plundered by my relatives, that deposit with the security company is the only possession I have left. That is why I really want it to be put to beneficial use. During this period of my illness, I have met a couple of people at random that are probably the best people I have ever met and I believed you are one of them. The disease has really eaten deep into me and it is very necessary that we try to conclude this matter as soon as possible. The most important thing now is for you to secure the release of the deposit so I am assured the money will not be put to waste.
In this regard, I will want you to contact my lawyer who will guide you through the process of the deposit collection from the security company since my health is deteriorating, regressing everyday, he will furnish you with all the necessary documents, which will enable you to make the collection of the deposit. I will advice that you contact him as soon as you can here are his contact details:
Barrister David Hunter
Harrison Curtis & Co Solicitors
Telephone: 44-755-129-3088
Fax: 44-207-060-6617
E-mail: E-mail addresses not allowed in posts
Be rest assured that i have discussed with him about you and the good intentions that you have so please do contact him and introduce yourself as my good friend.
I will like to informed you that 10% of the total funds will be given to you for your great assistance. My warm regards goes to you and your family.
Best regards,
Devin Campbell

Hello!
Funny is that I have received a faxsimilie today from a Capt. Mark Dyson. He claims to be military doctor serving in Iraq. He has "moved" $35 million in cash. To contact him for further details I have to send a fax to the same number as to Devin Campbell's. Sounds like fraud to me...:gah:

It's call office manager, They look at it and put it in file 13. We had a good one at one job I had. She trashed everything that came by fax.

It is old technology:bump:
Maybe a new version of a scam that has been around since the seventies maybe earlier. It was the Nigerian civil war back then. It came to me via snail mail.
