mailed-by: gmail.com
Firstly I would like to thank you for your time,I’m not used in writing a lengthy message, but I think I would make this brief. I still find it very difficult to introduce myself,I do rather let someone else do that for me.I am François Pinault, I am a French Citizen and a businessman, 83 years old, worth $33.4 billion US dollars you can verify this information's from my Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fran%C3%A7ois_Pinault OR https://www.forbes.com/profile/francois-pinault/
I know the internet is compromised and people find it hard to embrace such great opportunity, the intention of this email is to be of immense blessing to people and the world in general and not to rip from anyone, I cannot continue to amass wealth without be a blessing by giving out, I might not have the liberty of time due to my ailment (Dementia), therefore, I am doing this now.Through the help of our longtime partners, Microsoft Cooperation we generated fifty thousand (50,000) email ID's from a pool of over 25,000 web of distinguished professionals and individuals drawn from Europe, America, Asia, Australia, New Zealand, Middle-East, Africa and North & South America. Beneficiaries are selected through the Microsoft Computer Ballot System {CBS}. However, your E-mail Account was among them.
I have handed all my wealth to my children, but there is part of it which nobody is aware of I have been putting it away for this purpose since a long time now, I want to cede it out as gift for you to help Orphanages homes in your country, hoping it would be of help to you and others too, as this is my last wish to appreciate God for his grace upon my life.
I would have done this myself but for my health reason and if I do it through my eldest son, François-Henry Pinault, I am very certain he will not help anyone with it. François-Henri Pinault took me to court the last time I gave out money out of generosity. I have made life worth living for myself and my family, it is my hope that you are able to receive this money,all I want from you is to be honest with me and help others from it too.
Some percentage of my wealth I've been putting away in a private deposit for a long time. I am trying to cede this money in portions through the bank I deposited it to as many as can benefit from it because I do not really have much to do with it. As I send this message to you, I am also sending to churches, Orphanages, and individuals. If you know you are ready to receive the donation of $3,500,000.00.USD (THREE MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATE DOLLARS).
Kindly introduce yourself in details to me:
FULL NAME:
CONTACT ADDRESS:
COUNTRY:
AGE:
GENDER:
MARITAL STATUS:
OCCUPATION:
DIRECT PHONE NUMBER:
RELIGION:
After receiving your details, then will I give you a letter to receive your portion of donation from the paying bank. This is my personal money and does not need many formal procedures, some beneficiaries have received theirs, my only term is that you should be sincere with me and help the less privilege people that's all. Please make it fast, I only spend little time with my computer because of the strict instruction from my doctor for the use of electronic device, it has a great infect on my health condition.
I wait your prompt response.
Your Faithfully
Mr. François Pinault.
